Normally, I wouldnt think much of outbreaks but once they start putting up pictures of entire hemispheres and track # of incident the situation starts to become a little bit on the eerie side. With all the world-wide traveling within hours and cross-contamination of people from Ancorage to Patagonia, San Francisco to Saigon a potent/contageous enough bug can and will spread in a matter of weeks, if not days.
By the time we realize what is going on by finding enough infections that a disease trend is noticed; then afterwards performing characterization of a microbial culprit [which is not a little stupid 2 minute blue-red litmus tests like TV programs and movies like to project
;it could take weeks for this step to happen] things could get very serious
Being proactive is the only way to go IMO.
