Are you sure you understood both the proposition and my question?

An MSM source is pumping the potential pandemic quality of a crossover disease of some long recognized but not fully catalogued virus capable of mutation but already under surveillance.

Politics is the pivotal crux here; will the antagonistic government bodies cooperate to track this crossover potential or will enmity trump the common good.

An encitement to panic or to declare an unsupported crisis will hardly lead to the best course of containment or treatment and it is not in our better interest to light the lanterns and go running through the streets.

well, sitting as we are at our computers just talking is not exactly running thru the streets.

I do think when it comes right down to it, the right things will be done unlike the aids epidemic where everything wrong was done for political reasons.

the Article posted was quoting the spokesperson from the CDC. IMO, the CDC has done everything possible to keep the level of info/panic below the radar.

For this person to make such a statement is therefore like she jumped up and shrieked "We're all gonna die!!!".
