ATC Watcher, apologies if you thought I put words in your mouth, that was not the intention. My point is (and was) that humans are a resilient bunch, most of us will heed the warnings, apply common sense and will take the necessary precautions, and lo and behold, will survive. But we will do it without all the current media frenzy on the subject which is inducing mass hysteria causing the foolish and greedy to hoard essential supplies - which is precisely my beef. The current situation may be serious, but it is not permanent if we all behave the right way. Unfortunately the industries of self interest - media and finance - are not helping the issue.
