Actually, that is not as far-fetched as it may sound at first blush. If this truly becomes an epidemic, which given the current level of incompetence or malfeasance makes it possible, people would be freaked beyond anything we've ever seen.

I can only imagine, for example, how the people on the Frontier airlines flight (ie Dallas nurse, 2nd patient) feel today. The Dallas hospital cafeteria is a ghost town ... a couple more instances like this and people won't want to fly .... and that's just for starters.
