Think about this, there's not a fucking thing we can do! Well, I guess if you agree with grounding international flights, building a 20 foot wall around your borders, and dropping enough nukes to decinigrate any continent where animals carry this potentially dangerous virus into dust then there is something. Bullshit news articles put out to help sell bullshit surgical masks and Tamiflu don't help.
While we're doing the above we should also build a shield around the earth so those pesky meteors can't destroy civilization.
Of course, I prefer the hype so I can watch everyone running around screaming yet again about something that, even if true, cannot be stopped.
