Limited data, but there are now several confirmed cases in different countries traced to a small business conference in Singapore[1]. I think there's no question the barcelona conference would have spread the virus, where there's evidence it's transmissible without symptoms not to mention a long incubation period. I guess the calculation should be based on severity of illness, is it another H1N1 or is it the 1918 spanish flu? I can't really tell based on current data.
