"What're the total human deaths? Less than 100 worldwide? Wake me when it's 10,000." Once it gets to that point, it is too late to do anything proactively. That would be the incipient panic stage.

re: What're the total human deaths? Less than 100 worldwide? Wake me when it's 10,000. When it's 10,000 dead, the game will be over. The incubation period would be the key... if it's four or five days before symptoms show up, then 10,000 deaths could easily mean 1,000,000+ infected in almost every country in the world, and growing exponentially. Who knows, you are probably right, nothing will happen. Most stuff you play the odds, maybe 100 to 1, and being complacent you will be right most of the time. But ask the folks in the 9th ward of New Orleans if it always works. John
