@Richard @FortyTwo if we can assume people at stuff like the CDC do at least part of them want to try keeping people healthy. Then when a new disease pops up, or an old one returns or whatever.
I don't think it is unreasonable to try protective measures. Because it's new shit.
If anything I am advocating for the idea of "OK. Lets try to not have this new thing spread everywhere quickly" if it really was a new virus.
