Since this disease spreads slowly and needs LOTS of exposure Unfortunately here the spread to and resulting closure of a second hospital seems, reading between the lines to be partly typical human stupidity. Another issue that doesn't sit quite right is here: Authorities are (before the second closure) advising people that were at the hospital (first one) from March 16 on to get checked. Interestingly the first death occurred at that hospital March 4 and a subsequent family member (the 44 year ol son) died on March 13 (or Mar 3 and Mar 14 I don't recall). Also interesting is that authorities are already speaking of enforcing quarantine. On a positive note the second hospital outbreak is directly attibutable to the first hospital, ie. a direct link.
