Yeah, and H1N1 is primed to spread wide and far, becoming the new Spanish Flu. Same with SARS, Swine flu, etc.

Times I wonder if these guys get paid to scaremonger.

SARS, MERS, and influenza, are all biologically capable of causing massive and widespread infections due to their method of transmission. The difference is that the mortality factor isn’t there, and that’s something that can change by mutation. We’ve had years of experience with this kind of change. We have seen this happen.

The fear about Ebola is a change in transmission (from blood/bodily fluids, to airborne), which is something that hasn’t been documented, despite decades of research and understanding about the Ebola virus family.
