There is no hysteria that I am aware of. The medical reports of medical personal testing positive are very recient. According to the existing safety protacals there it should not have happened.
This actually is the thrust of my thoughts. If say their acquiring it was as a result of a viral mutation. There already may be somebody else that has the mutation on their way home while they are investigating this. That person could be amoungst the general population before an investigation caught the change of status of a virus. Plus so was the whole planeload. The recirculating air supply in those planes is signifigant.
Even one such individual in a highly contagious state but not really sick yet could be a disaster. With a mutation the incubation period could radically change in humans.
I guess my point is it easier and much cheaper to have a quarantine period for people exiting the prevelant areas. Then to perhaps take chances. Even if the risk of mutation occuring where only one percent? The only way it is safe now if the people that deal with virusus can verify that there is absolutely no chances of mutation to a far more contagious form. Again maybe this is reality but if so why are we not hearing of it. The reaction of the local powers that be when the suspected case turned up fairly close to us was interesting. Just overkill probably.
People should be willing to do this isolation period if they must go into and out of the areas that are impacted. I really think disease control people should exercise choices based on their experiences with viruses. Maybe this is occurring and maybe their political bosses are calling the shots instead.
Can we not have a situation between no signifigant issues and panic? Playing it safe and very conservative for example just in case does not seem to be one.
There already is an issue without mutation. Any eruption that reoccurred was by expectations announced to be only very small. It was more or less indicated with their past experience the break out would be smaller and more contained than previously.. This projection has not quite proven accurate to me at least.
