The thing is, that a virus this fast will find its way. Unfortunately H5N1 and the last scares we have had of a pandemic will keep this one from becoming a panic wave, and this time the death rate alone is a reason to be aware.
I remember reading this one interview of a doctor from back home from the seventies, when antibiotics were given to anything, and he asked one of the high ups then, what are the chances of the bugs not getting the best of us even in this, and got silence as an answer. This is one of the occasions where we need to realize just how low in the bigger picture we are.
