I just read on CNN that some scientest think it could be airborne. If so, where do you think the situation will sit, say 1 or 2 months from now? Air travel will be banned? Every city will have several cases of it? Will it eventually just “sweep” through the population and we’ll end up losing 3-4% of us to it?
I’m not trying to be terribly alarmist, but it does somewhat concern me, especially since I do have some air travel coming up within the next couple of weeks. Not to any “hotspots” with it (yet) but still to a very major city. I will admit, this is making me far more concerned than say, Ebola outbreaks that you hear about in Africa.
I think the Chicken Little hypotheticals are way off. Only 4% of all those infected by SARS die, so losing “3-4% of us to it” would require every person in the world to contract it. At the worst, I think we will see deaths in the thousands in the less developed countries affected by it, and only (!) hundreds in developed countries.
Well, I would hazard a guess that pretty much every person on the planet has had a cold at one time or other, so is it unrealistic to assume that over time every person on the planet may come into contact with this (presumebly) Virus?
