This is the a flu. A particularly nasty one. More contagious that the normal flu and more deadly.
If you consider how many that have died compared to recovery rate its half chance 50/50 at this time. Compared to the seasonal flu 99.999/.001 magnitudes of difference.
If it ends up breaking out on the islands im afraid of an unmitigated disaster.
Mom and dad come home from a Superbowl party. one innocuous kiss to the children goodnight and then send them off to school like little hand grenades the next day. Its like something out of a Hollywood movie of what could happen. It is happening, just not here. not yet.
