Took the words out of my mouth
@talon There is no reason anybody here would be more informed than the adults and instructors and researchers I listen to.
Obama does care. Shows how little you know. He is spending time rearranging plans so he can combat this

Your naivety is showing.
Yes but humanity has only had air travel for a very short limited time. People are connected much more widespread than in plague days. In those days, the ones immediately around you were the ones you interacted with. These days, I will go two hours north on a saturday night to go party at a rave with 3000 people. The next day, I will be back home visiting my gym and such. Monday, I will go to a school where viruses run rampant and we share nearly everything with little hygiene. Then, I will board a plane to visit my grandparents all the way in California.
If we have 1/8 as deadly as the black plague, there is an insane amount of reason to be terrified. |
It is true that it people connect more than they used to but we also have organised health care now. The fact that people travel more is countered by the way we can combat disease.
