It's an epic example of mass hysteria. It still seems to be building. I'm waiting with interest to see when it crests.

The panic may be a lot worse than the virus itself. Personally I think its cover for a lot of other chickens coming to roost.

Some will accuse me of downplaying the seriousness of the problem by sharing an alternative opinion, as I try to keep things balanced. In either case, staying informed and being cautious is advisable.
