> This article is exactly WHY I am not legitimately concerned about a wide-spread infection in the Western world. I guess you have never been in a disaster in the western world. Well, I have. More than once. And I have seen what people can devolve into. I'll probably get voted down mercilessly for saying this: The truth of the matter is that "civilization" is thin-skinned. It doesn't take that much for people to revert to cave-men behavior. The worst thing we can do, by far, is to adopt a smug "won't happen here" attitude in the "civilized", "educated" and "sophisticated" west. The minute we don't attack this as the existential threat it is, we are simply setting ourselves up for a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
