I’ll be honest with ya, I’m not overly concerned about this thing. I live about 50-60 miles from 5 international airports and we don’t have any cases yet that I’m aware of.
I was never concerned about Ebola, Swine Flu, Avian Flu, SARS, MERSA, or any of the other “crisis” illnesses which crossed our boarders in the past. Those illnesses along with this one is out of our “control”, meaning it’s a virus, it comes and goes at its own discretion. It’s an illness, it’s a form of the flu, it’s fightable. Will people catch it, get sick and die...probably but just like any other virus it’s typically those with weak, compromised immune systems or other health issues which make fighting it more difficult.
The origin of it is more intriguing to me, just like those other illnesses I listed. To be honest I was more concerned about HIV/AIDS in the ‘80’s than I am about this newest virus, that was a crazy time. We’re are not facing a bubonic plague here. I have complete faith in the WHO, CDC as well as all the medical professionals and organizations working to find a solution to this and I believe this will come to pass as all those others have.
