Just received this in the mail today. It's destination is Pakistan :) Since the bug is starting in New Jersey, I think it should make it's way to the West Coast, unless someone is going international beforehand :D
The sharing stories part: My great Aunt died of complications from Diabetes a few years ago (she was in her 60s). My mother is 57, and she was diagnosed a few years back. She is currently on the needle for her Diabetes. Diabetes is an insidious disease that needs more funding to find a cure.
