Usually somewhere between flippant and glib.
Just in case you didn't have enough to worry about... people in the USA are currently ill and/or dying from some sort of coronavirus likely derived from camels in Saudi Arabia which has been dubbed "MERS."

The jet commuter age can spread disease worldwide overnight, and exponentially, not to mention how most antibiotics are being way overused rendering most of them useless.

Where did you get this info from? I read that ONE person in the US has it and that person is a "health care worker based in Saudi Arabia."

Yeah, the OP's link confirms that only one person in the US has contracted MERS.

Q: Has anyone in the United States gotten infected?
A: Yes, on May 2, 2014, the first confirmed case of MERS-CoV was reported in a traveler to the United States. This is the only confirmed case in the United States. Read more.

Kudos on y'all actually looking it up. :thumbleft: I heard on the local news that 35 states had suspected cases and either didn't hear the part about them testing negative or they didn't include that little tidbit in the report. Either way, it's something to be aware of. The caregivers for that one case that tested positive are still in quarantine because it can take up to two weeks for the incubation period before symptoms show up.
