"I suppose some people secretly want to think the worst"

I'm amused that some people don't bother to read the CDCs and John Hopkins report--along with the govts own findings about a possible smallpox outbreak--but would rather listen to "good feeling" opinions with no factual basis, just to avoid feeling unsettled. Weird.

about a possible smallpox outbreak--

Like I said, those reports are about possibilities, as you stated. What we have are data that shows that those possiblilities might not be probabilities. I dont think that the discussion of these two ranges of possibilities are incompatible with each other. As of now, we have heard of the more pessimistic possibilities. With the introduction of data to support something less catastrophic, some have come out of the woodwork to denounce it. I dont think that is neccessary.
