"As a result, they are focusing on the possibility that it is a previously unknown infectious agent."

Standard containment procedure. They're not taking any chances. That is wise. However, no matter what way you try to boil it down, it's still just standard containment procedure, without enough data to issue necessary warning of specific precautions, symptoms and treatments to the public. This goofy warning by the UN is therefore premature, because it's based upon a distinct lack of data. In fact, I still say it's suspect. Not that I'm dissing or downplaying the infective power of the virus...my 5 month old grandson had it a few weeks ago. He's never been out of the country. A friend of his father's (my son) had a baby about 8 months old who was hospitalized with atypical pneumonia the same day my son and daughter in law took my grandson to the doctor's. I know this stuff can be bad. I'm just saying the HYPE surrounding it is DEFINITELY suspect, because it's not following protocol.

I believe I will withhold judgement until the incubation period expires for the passengers on the German bound airliner.
