In my mind, this is the problem. We've got a new disease, that no one is resistant to yet, that spread apparently very easily, and when new cases are announced, we just get what city they're from and where they traveled to recently.
If the government was serious about stopping the spread, they would be announcing what flight he was on, what all stores he had visited since his return with the dates, etc.
Even if this is no worse than the regular flu. I don't want the regular flu either. If this one spreads easier, how about helping the rest of us not catch it?
