It's coming. After Asia, it's now in Europe and Africa. Don't underestimate it. If widely transmitted to humans, this pandemic will have tremendous - deadly - repercussions.

If you want to dig even further or have practical questions, there are of course loads of websites available. You'll find a lot of very contradictory information, some very reassuring (to prevent widespread panic), others announcing a huge catastrophe. So it's certainly best you stick to the most serious ones, such as the World Health Organisation, and the Official US government website for information on pandemic flu. You'll find here objective information, that explains what's at stake and the danger this pandemic poses.

Better safe than sorry.
