This scare is overblown, just like SARS was, especially by some people here at free republic. There was one poster, I think MotherAbigail, who would pretty much only post sars threads.

People got all hot and bothered that this would bring about TEOTWAWKI and it would be like the great flue of 1918 all over again. Unfortunately for them, their eagerness for a new plague failed to take into account we are a thousand times more advanced in the fields of medicine, science, transportation and communication than we were back then. The ability to indentify and treat these things can not be compared to what was available 80 years ago.

Kind of like that old "Of you don't get a flu shot you could DIE!!!!!!" followed by "OMG NO flu vaccine!!!!" hysteria. Oooopsie, no shots; no epidemic...

Then why worry? Let it go.

Those of us who are interested in emerging diseases in the far east will read the articles. If there's anything to fear, I'm sure your government will tell you.

After all, SARS was nothing, right? Let it go.
