Let it wipe out the Middle East before we lift a finger.

Might save a lot of American lives in the long run if it can be contained.

Pandemics are natures way of telling us there's too many damn people on Earth.

"MERS-CoV appears to have originated in bats. It is likely that a single variant from bats crossed over to an intermediate animal host species (at least in the Middle East), however, and subsequently infected the human population."

There is a lethal strain of "bird flu" going on in China now too, 35 dead to date and developing drug resistance, but so far seems to be contracted from birds rather than human-to-human transmission.

Didn't die out until they got that health-care-scam passed.
After that they didn't need to scare the sheeple anymore.

No, the next pandemic will come from the IRS.
