    Not really. I think it will go away like SARS did.

    At the moment you are more likely to drown in the paddle after tripping and falling into it face first.

    If however it turns into pandemia they expect millions of people to die.

    Texas is in midst of flu season. They said on TV in the last week the two drugs they were using on flu last season is not working on 90% of cases this year.

    Not really worried about it. I love Turkey (the country, not the bird) and it's spreading like wildfire over there, but it wouldn't stop me going there at all.
