This looks like something particularly nasty. Although they are debating how it sprang up, the real concern now is how to stop it spreading. The death toll is alarming and it's likely to massively increase. I've read that there is a lot of effort going into a vaccine. The 1918 flu pandemic killed tens of millions, I just pray we get a handle on this before it happens again.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
