So, at some point in modern medical times we’re surely going to run into a fast spreading, high mortality rate virus in the developed world that causes true cinematic level panic. But, we should remember that HIVAIDS has killed 35 million since the early 80s and something like 5 percent of the sub Saharan Africa population is infected.
My only point being that when stuff like SARS or this pop up, a lot of folks are thinking World War Z and not about our long-lived epidemics like AIDS.
