a reasonable response is to show concern for a disease that is spreading and has the potential to be pretty devastating. are you not able to watch the news where you live? are you unaware that two healthcare workers have become infected and that there are concerns about others who have had contact with infected patients? does it have to kill 4000 people here for you to say "hey, maybe we ought to be doing something about this."? you seem to be in some kind of cocoon that says this isn't nearly as serious as people are making it out to be, plus there's no way it could affect you. it seems awfully cavalier to me that you see it this way.
instead of getting snarky about it, how about something in between, like showing some concern for your fellow humans?
