COMMENT: Medical personnel fleeing a pandemic
Submitted by Martha London on 12/5/07 8:53 AM
In response to your hopes that tier one people would still respond to a crisis: I did read recently about a similar severe contagious disease outbreak in a province in India. Apparently medical personnel, understanding the severity and likelihood of infection, fled the province in great numbers, leaving the general populace behind. Though some brave doctors and nurses, etc, did stay to help ordinary people, most did not. I apologize for the lack of details here; the book I saw this in is at home and I'll follow up tomorrow with the correct details.
But I think this sort of flight--of all sorts of "strategic" personnel-- is a possibility that we should all consider.

so high virulence in SARS didn't preclude it from becoming a pandemic?
