New Delhi: Swine flu has become a global disease and the number of affected is growing by each hour. And while the situation in India may be under control for the moment, that is certainly not the case elsewhere in world.
After affecting many countries the world over, the deadly virus entered Asia through Hong Kong where an entire hotel has been quarantined after a guest tested positive.
China has suspended all its flights to Mexico -- the country where it all began. Air France is also refusing to fly to Mexico and wants all the European countries to suspend flights till the situation gets better.
Meanwhile, in Mexico, there is a shutdown, which is now starting to worry citizens and authorities. Millions are trapped inside their homes under stringent government restrictions. Even the schools, playgrounds, parks and other amusements have been closed.
"It may turn out that H1N1 is running its course like ordinary flu, in which case, we will have prepared and we won't need all these preparations," Obama said in his speech.
The flu has grown so much that the World Health Organisation has said a pandemic is imminent.
The government and hospitals are now preparing to contain the outbreak on a war footing.
