damned if you do and if you dont
I think govts WHO and CDC et al are right to be very cautious.It looks as if mexico have talked it up too much or other factors have contributed to the deaths there.
If they did little or nothing AND it did explode we'd be a tad peeved yes?
Its their job to warn inform prevent immunise etc.I'd rather a warning for something that in the end is contained than negligence and avoidable deaths.
The tabloid press and low brow TV shows are having a field day.So much tripe being reported.
With the flu pandemic in / around 1918 millions died.Sure it was a low % of those who actually contracted the disease but caution is warranted.Too many people already die too soon from preventable diseases.
One thing I did note from the 1918 outbreak reports was that in the early days it was not that serious but a second wave of flu ( possibly a mutation of the 1st virus? ) caused the real damage.
