The World Health Association has just released word that containment is no longer an option. The virus has already spread to the US and rumors are boiling that the virus has also been spotted in Europe (right here in Holland, to be exact...). The WHO is considering raising the threat level to 4 (of 6), which is the highest it has been in recent years. Not even the Sars epidemic got to level 4.
It's also since been confirmed that the virus is of the H1N1 variety, which is the same strain as the Spanish Flu which is estimated to have killed over 20 million people back in 1918. It has yet to be detirmined if this strain is quite as deadly. Currently the score is 68 deaths and an estimated 1000 infected in the US and Mexico.
