people are dying right?
it is a new resistant strain of a killer right?
I think we downplay these types of things. All movies aside (12 Monkeys, Outbreak, all the resident evil movies, etc etc etc and many others), I have seen many many stories about how easy it would be for a killer virus or bug to spread through a densely populated area. A real killer with no known cure that does not "burn itself out" like Ebola, would kill hundreds of thousands or more.
We should be very worried. A killer bug would wipe out more people then some far away war. We need to be very proactive in dealing with these bugs
