In hindsight this will be looked at as a gross over reaction or a severe under reaction depending on if this flu turns out to be highly contagious (airborne) and lethal. Much like with hurricane predictions and preps. Damned if you do Damned if you don't.
Unfortunately given the nature of contagious disease and exponential growth the fact that this virus has spread past a localized area means the cat is probably already out of the bag unless transmission is only limited to physical contact. Now we just have to wait and see. History says we are overdue for a bad flu so I'm a little worried. If not this one then there are 7 billion souls all potential incubators of the next mutation. Its a numbers game and there are LOTS of numbers working against us. Mother nature is tenacious.
