I wouldn't be so sure! Of course the media are blowing it up! But the big problem we will face very soon is pig ignorant folks who have not got a clue! We are due a global pandemic and the figures we get to see in our preperations in the health service are alarming to say the least! The first death in the uk has just happened, and the women was 38! Although she had underlying health issues, i don't think most people realise that this pandemic will affect mostly working age adults. Globally most deaths will happen in developing nations, but the need for good handwashing and covering your mouth when sneezing will be very important and is a good preventive.
I understand the risk - the scientists are afraid that by multiplying, the virus will undergo more mutations which multiplies the risk for it to mutate into something similar to the spanish flu which killed 40 million "precious" people.
But I have no use for travel restrictions right now...
