    I still think it’s been blown out of proportion.There aren’t even 1000 cases stateside. Nothing to be concerned about. Even if you catch it you just have to get your dumb ass to an emergency room in any first world country. The only people who died failed to seek treatment.Now of course if millions of people had it and the hospitals were overflowed you’d have something to worry about. But that’s not the case.

    There is no treatment – that’s the problem, and why appropriate precautions are necessary:  wash your hands, cough and sneeze into your sleeve, stay away from others if you feel unwell.
