I read on Twitter from the News that Air Canada was suspending travel to Mexico until June 2. A minute later it was updated saying that due to travel demands they are going to maintain all flights to Mexico?! Why would they do that?! Even if we believe that this flu is minor why wouldn't we be very cautious about this and suspend travel for now until we see the numbers improve?

Probably because rather than listen to the over-hyped media they decided that common sense should prevail.
