Any Outbreak will shut down the airline industry. Havn't seen the latest mortality rates but if it as up to 60% that is a Level IV biohazard if it is airbourne. Only things like ebola are worse, but because of there incubation period and fatalty rate they are relatively easily contained. We all saw what happened in asia with SARS. If this becomes comunicable through humans it could be muchworse.
