Not only last night was I having this discussion with the local medics.
The death rate is "only" 4% - not dissimilar to influenza. Why the hype? Thousands more people are dying of many other equally or more infectious diseases every day, and where is the rush?
Its also not as if entire planeloads of people are getting ill from the recirc air either. All it means is that the host can take it to another corner of the planet, where it is still not that deadly. Aircraft take all sorts of diseases from one corner of theplanet to another. There would scarcely be one amongst us who have not caught a mild influenza or cold from aircraft travel. Yet this virus is not infecting people by the plane load.
P.S. How you doing? - you've been lying low!
