Keep perspective. Yesterday we were lamenting that the sky was falling and the end was nigh (many still are) because trained professionals got infected "in spite of the hazmat suits". That wasn't what happened apparently. True, the situation is serious but lets all remember that rush to judgement as we go forward.
thought this by MarkP deserved a repeat. emphasis mine.
