Over the top? maybe.
Anyway, I like this site and believe he and his readers have good advice on preparing for disasters in general.

Try google.com Maps and look for H1N1.
There's a couple of verified cases (supposedly) in Canada.
This map looks like it's spreading in the USA along the migratory wildfowl pathways.
That's a clue.

Someone started this because we beat them at soccer. We should have just let them win.

Migratory wildfowl pathways or migratory illegal alien pathways?

It’s the Wild Burrito migration paths

This map looks like it's spreading in the USA along the migratory wildfowl pathways. That's interesting. I think ducks are generally the big vectors in the bird world, but neither the US nor Mexico is a big duck-raising place (unlike China, where duck is a popular food).
I suppose it could have been brought by migratory birds from some place in Latin America, not necessarily Mexico. In other words, because Mexico is more urban and probably has a better health system and more educated population, they were able to notice a surge in cases; other poorer countries in Latin America (where birds winter) may not have even noticed it, especially if it started in a rural area where the population is somewhat dispersed.
It's possible that it's terrorism. But I don't think terrorists would have set this stuff off in any place they are located, unless, of course, they were certain that they had a vaccine. In that case, it would have to be a technologically sophisticated power behind it.

Drudge is reporting that when he was in Mexico last week, Obama met and shook hands with a man who later died of flu-like symptoms.
Can you imagine the chaos that would grip this country if the President and a bunch of senior politicians died of this flu?

Of course, that would be G.W. Bush's fault, too.

Obama’s death would be very bad for this country.
He would be a martyr and we would never get rid of the bunch that replaced him.

The left-wing media would turn Obama and any other Dimocrats into martyrs for the cause, putting the blame for their deaths squarely on the shoulders of Bush and other Republicans who "allowed gun sales to Mexican gangs to the point where Obama had to go down there to correct the situation" and would then push for tougher gun laws in his memory.

When this thing gets to China could it combine with the bird flu into some kind of super transmittable flying pig virus?
