How dare the public want to know more about their possible illnesses when a mysterious almost pandemic looms about? I think groveling in ignorance places us back in the dark ages. Quest for knowledge on our information highway via net is fantastic.

Kudos for folks wanting answers and to be their own advocates gleaning anything that "higher ups" or other searchers might know about how to protect themselves and loved ones!

Ignorance is so "middle ages". I'm sure the plague victims would have loved info in their desperate time of need. Searchers should never be called hypochondriacs. An enlightened new century with a healthy quest for knowledge is a very good thing and might just stave full pandemic hysteria.
