I'm not terrified, or fearful, yet, just a little worried. Of course I can't do anything about from here... except worry... I heard about this just a couple days ago, and things seem to be getting worse. I saw a headline about the U.S banning pork... wonder how that's going to affect things over there with food prices already very high.

It's also not just the virus that worries me, but all of the events which may come because of this.... school's and workplaces closing, quaratines, force vaccinations, etc.
I'm not saying it doesn't have the potential to be catastrophic. It just seems to me every time we get scared about one of these things they turn out not to be very bad. The main thing I will be interested to learn is what the survival rate is. They didn't mention in that article approximately how many people have been confirmed ill with it.

The fact cases have been reported in several different countries already does worry me a bit. Initially, the way people were talking, I thought cases had only popped up in Mexico so far.
