Comment
It is important that we put this disease in perspective. THere are less than 200 cases worldwide. Person to person transmission may not occur, if it does the viral strain could be mild.
Treatment modalities are available today that were not available in 1918 including effective antivirals and possibly a vaccine.
It is important to watch this disease evolve but not in such a way that would create panic in the business community. Simply, the disease may not happen and it appears that fear of the disease is spreading faster than the disease itself. Marc J. Yacht MD, MPH
