>There has to be a sweet spot between telling everyone immediately, insighting a panic, and holding back all of the information. What if there's panic? It's not with a, say, earthquake prediction, where people would evacuate cities etc. Rather, they'd stay at home more, avoid crowded places, avoid people looking sick, and wear those white mouth/nose masks more when out -- in all, that should help reduce the spreading of the dicease. |

- companies refusing to fly people back from Saudi Arabia to the United States
- us putting all people of the interested groups, for example, all Muslims and family members of anyone Arabic looking, into special hospitals to make sure they don't spread the disease, even if we don't have it.
- violent outrage if our family members end up sick, and there is a mosque down the road.
This particular article seemed to make it pretty clear that the yearly pilgrimage often results in illness from all the populations coming together with their own unique resistances. This particular pilgrimage, with these numbers, tends to be with a single population. That population could be seen as the source of the disease, and bad things happen.
That's the sort of 'panic' I'm thinking of and it's not good. Oh, and the reason I'm saying this level of panic is due to the currently estimated 56% death rate after extreme signs are shown.
