Haha, I remember those "scares", and of course the news is always blowing stuff out of proportion. THAT stuff really was idiotic, and I remember saying so. This however really IS an epidemic. For the first time, there actually is a wide spread epidemic and of course the news was already busy with a war by the time it finally happened. However, being paranoid about it won't do anything. Just don't wander into a quarenteed town and you should be fine.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
