Some good information here:
Not a good idea to bury ours heads in the sand now. If we are lucky it's not as bad as it seems, but that doesn't seem very likely. Events like this happen and were predicted before, and the world simply wasn't prepared for it. This disease first showed up 3 months ago, and now it's almost everywhere. Hopefully after this is over, we will have systems in place to stop something similar in the future.
