The cat is out of the bag.... aka WHO L5

It is a novel virus....... no immunity in the herd.. all individuals susceptible.. it doesn't NEED to mutate into a killer to kill .... repeat... no immunity.. it is however mutating..

some strains will kill some of the people some of the time
All people will want protection all of the time... as all are susceptible to infection.. it might not kill you .. you might not even get sick.. BUT....
Where it is you can't get a pill for love or money..

Like some wise ones say.. it's orders for quantities of product that will drive shareprice not hype over fluctuating numbers of casualties or relative virulence to existing seasonal pathogens/flu.

Note to doubters re Hype: it is a novel virus it is not 'just another flu" unless you think the WHO is wrong and it's all a sham. A valid point of view but then you're buying a slice of a bigger world view.
