wasnt this an episode of the avengers with Steed and Mrs. Peel?

[Tis The Time''s Plague]

Actually it's the plot to the new James Bond movie "GoldenBug"

Seriously, the news reports, when you dig into them or do a little google searches of the researchers (you need a little more biology background than the Washington Post) shows that their areas of research are very esoteric and not as scary as they first sound. And call me if there is a Ebola outbreak somewhere other than central Africa - otherwise it really isn't even tinfiol news.
