Best Answer

For an individual, it is probably only as costly as treating a cold. Even if you are prescribed anti-viral medications, considering the costs of treatment for other types of infections, such as bacterial infections, it would be much less costly.

For a world foreseeing or living through a pandemic, then the costs of fighting it, especially until a vaccine can be developed and distributed can be much more costly. Our experience with the Swine Flu pandemic of 2009 has in a way helped provide a "trial run" for some future possible pandemic of a much more deadly infectious disease. Therefore, it may not cost as much going forward for this part of fighting an infectious disease.
