Yep, I don’t think people are understanding the reason why doctors are worried about this new virus.

It’s not like Obama has control of the whole WORLD right now and it’s not like it’s just the U.S. — we’re talking about confirmed cases WORLDWIDE ALREADY.

Another thing people may not realize... We don’t know if it will be virulent or not (as the man in the article stated), but these health organizations WILL act on possibility or probability because that’s the ONLY way to “get ahead” of things like this...

Also, people need to realize that the “death count” alone are NOT the only reason places like WHO and the CDC raise pandemic level warnings.

Plus, as you pointed out — many more than just “5” have died. Since when does ANYONE here at FR trust pure number statistics (don’t we all know better than that?).

Sorry, this is just so frustrating. I see so many people here treating this with total disregard, or saying it’s all some big conspiracy manufactured by Obama. While I believe in my soul that Obama IS a fascist dictator that WOULD use a crisis to his advantage, I don’t see ANY evidence that he has CREATED this crisis as some appear to believe. THAT in itself is rather scary.

As much as Obama himself would like to believe, the world doesn’t revolve around him, and his plans to destroy our country and turn it into a fascist state.

The virus is REAL. Even the researchers and doctors don’t know EXACTLY what we’re dealing with yet. Again, not a time for PANIC, but not a time for disregard either...

Cautious optimism, vigilance, and common sense health precautions remain the “order of the day”.

I wonder if this is just the “test” bioweapon attack. See what happens on this. The next “mistake” might be a lot more serious.

Of course, it does not really matter if this was planned or not. We live in such an ignorant society where no one has the brains to think anymore (as proved by Washington), we will kill off ourselves.

Can you imagine any city, state, or national official being able to protect us?

I generally agree. While, from what I've seen and heard, there's no cause for real alarm or panic just yet, as so far the effects have been relatively mild. We don't know enough, though, to disregard it as "nothing", and it certainly holds the potential to become a more serious problem.

I certainly don't think this has been manufactured or exaggerated by the Obama Administration, though I'm certain it will be used as political football by both liberals (to promote government medicine) and conservatives (to promote closing the borders). It's entirely unnecessary for the President to "manufacture" a crisis out of this; the media will do that for him, and not for any political reason. With respect to an earlier poster on this thread, it's ludicrous to suggest that the media are fudging the numbers in order to downplay the seriousness of this outbreak; they have every incentive to exaggerate the crisis in the minds of the public in order to boost ratings and sell more newspapers.

So absolutely, don't panic, but don't disregard this as meaningless, either. Go about your life, but take precautions. Besides, many of the most effective precautions are things you should be doing anyway, like washing your hands! I strongly suspect that the disparity in the number of deaths and infections between the United States and Mexico has much more to do with hygiene than medical care.

I'm not of the mind that Obama engineered & distributed this disease (though I can see why it makes many go Hmmmm), but we do know one thing for certain, as we have heard both Rammin Manuel and Cankles declare that catastrophes are for exploiting, so why would anyone expect less?

What kind of perverse mind would send a jumbo jet followed by F16s over Ground Zero?
