Is the world prepared for the swine influenza?

Is the world prepared for swine influenza?
No, is my answer.

An outbreak in New York- hundreds of school children have fallen sick with suspected swine flu. A group of school children recently visited Mexico have spread the disease to other children.
New Zealand and Israel, there are also confirmations of people infected with swine flu.
Infections in Brazil, Guatemala and Peru are also suspected.

The world is not prepared because these death and infections cannot be stopped yet.
The poorer countries will be hit the hardest. Poor countries will not be able to cope with a large-scale swine flu outbreak. Although this has happened before in the past, we are still unprepared for this pandemic.
