I was imagining my mental panic response for THIS instance:

- 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.
