Not too concerned, yet. What looks like over reaction is probably appropriate in order to keep it from becoming much worse. Pandemic planning has advanced so much in the past decade that this is just an initial step in containment efforts. Now, if its still expanding its reach in the next couple of months, then yes I'll be concerned.
Four or five years ago I came down with a respiratory flu while in San Francisco on business. The hotel sent me to a local Dr. His 'hobby' was studying pandemics. He recited several statistics that pointed to the world being overdue for a pandemic. He was very concerned that the bird fly would extend beyond Asia. He prescribed Tamiflu to me. As close to a wonder drug as I've ever had. Within 24 hours I was unbelievably better. I understand for Tamilfu to be effective it must be administered soon before the fly sets in. In my case, it was.
