I heard over the weekend someone commenting that the outbreak originated right beside China's big germ warfare center like our Ft. Detrick Md. The word was that people were infected and were dying from a synthetic organism.
So that just doesn't matter. If it was intentional and done by a state, then the threshold for a nuclear response has been crossed. I'd guess they screwed up and the bug got lose by accident. That's what I'm going to believe because the survival rate of this thing is much better than dealing with cesium, strontium, plutonium and all that for the next several lifetimes.
Common sense here. Those living in densely populated areas are at high risk should the outbreak spread. Those who have traveled in our nasty jets and walked through Dallas, LAX, OHR, JFK, SEA, and a host of others would be at the highest risk. If it starts to breakout, simply do not go to an airport, bus station, train or subway, mall, shopping centers or other similar. Not time to pop smoke, but avoid travellers. Do not be a traveler. Stay away from sick people. Avoid hospitals if you can. Don't use public transportation and set aside something to eat and sip on for a spell if you should need to.
