Y' know, if "catching" this unfortunate guy & his illness hopefully early gives us a leg up on learning about this disease, I for one have no complaint about my tax dollars going to his care. Can't be penny wise and pound foolish with this sort of stuff...
And if the CDC is doing contact tracing.
SURELY they are. The fatality rate is not horrific, but it's more than bad enough, and this appears to be highly contagious.
Highly contagious, concerning fatality rate... and it’s one mutation away from changing the latter from “concerning” to “very high”.
