There have now been three new patients confirmed as having swine flu in Ontario - and like the others, they're all from the GTA.
One of the new cases is in Durham, another is in York, while a third has emerged in Peel.
All the latest flu sufferers are women and like the others, they wound up with only mild versions of the strain.
They're all in their 20s and have been recovering at home, without requiring any time in hospital.
For the first time, we're learning the Ontario patients contracted the ailment in Cancun, a popular resort with young people during spring break.
Officials are working hard to check on around 20 other tourists who are showing signs of the disease, but those tests results aren't back yet.
Some who aren't even sick are still taking precautions, a trend that troubles pharmacist Victor Lee.
"People are panicking and hoarding," what appear to be stockpiles of an already existing flu vaccine.
"Tamiflu is a very strong medication, usually on the advice of the physician only, and there's absolutely no indication that we should keep hoarding for ourselves," Lee warned.
"For healthy people, this is going to be a mild disease," outlined Dr. Donald Low, microbiologist in chief at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Inappropriate use of Tamiflu isn't safe and could lead to your body becoming resistant to future drugs.
"We need that drug for people who are at risk, such as the very young and the very old," added Low.
And that's because a new vaccine is a long way off.
"We are probably five to six months away from a vaccine," the doctor admitted.
"We have to test it in human volunteers to make sure that it's not toxic, that it's not going to cause side effects, and that it gives you the right immunity, the right protection against the virus," he continued.
Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health is reassuring the public the province is well prepared for any more outbreaks, using the lessons learned from SARS. Despite not having determined the origin of all the cases, there is still no evidence yet that anyone who's come down with the swine flu got it without being in Mexico.
Dr. David Williams insists it's important to take a wait-and-see attitude with the spread and that it's business as usual until further notice. "You don't need to stay away from school or work if you're totally well in that situation but, again, you have to be vigilant and if you do develop symptoms ... do the right thing: Stay home. Monitor. If you have concerns, contact your health care provider and get some advice."
Ontario has seven cases of the strain, while Canada has 19, after three more people in B.C. were confirmed to have it on Wednesday.
