This is why we need to be cool and objective in our analysis of just what should be done. If I were in charge (LOL!) I'd call a meeting of the leading virus experts and pick their brains.. But I'd also need to see some evidence that this is a single, identifiable virus and not just a bunch of creative case grouping (hype) created by operatives (cooking the books) trying to further terrorize the (ignorant and credulous) populace. Remember the shark attack threat from a year ago? The media had a field day with that one.
Now, I must go. Good luck with those nurses. ;^)
