They HAVE to with this kind of threat. If this turns out to be real, this is a deadly disease! It would be irresponsible if they didn't take this seriously! I would be furious if they didn't.
Agree we need to take the calls seriously...having said that, there will come a point in time when we DON'T take them seriously, and so, when we let down our guard, will they go ahead with their plot?
Sort of like the little boy who cried "wolf"...no one would listen to him when the real one showed up. We ALL remember that little story.
