Interesting. Notice the massive preparations the US is taking on, compared to some countries who do not have the resources or healthcare system to deal with this. Will this become a problem this winter, who knows, but definitely keep tabs on this stuff. Especially if you are working in those at risk countries. Although, it’s not like there aren’t enough things to worry about in these places, like bullets or IED’s or whatever. –Matt
