I am appreciating all the fearmongering that is happening. However, this article struck me. What surprised me most was the line from a doctor. "'We're in this race against the virus, and only Mother Nature knows how many cases are going to occur over the next six to 10 weeks,' said Michael Osterholm, a vaccine expert at the University of Minnesota." Did you notice what he just said? He just said that only Mother Nature can tell us how many people will get this. I laughed quite hard at this. This man quoted in this article is an expert – sorry "expert" – and is giving omniscience (limitless knowledge) on a whimsical mythical character for our safety. Because it makes a whole lot more sense to believe in her as opposed to God. Sure it does.

haha i read it and laughed too. Why do these people think they know what's going to happen? Only God knows. Same with the whole "the world's gonna end in 2012" there are so many people in my grade who believe that whole-heartedly. it's just sad.
