Northern Virginia's commuter rail line is a super-bug? How? It barely gets to Fredericksburg. Dulles Airport I'd believe...

In all seriousness, I'm effing terrified. We'll probably have some new treatments in a couple decades. However we'll only get them because of some horrifying epidemic.

Cringely had an article about one thing we could be doing now: making hospitals less like petri dishes by using chip fab clean room tactics. Simply flushing the air more effectively and frequently would go a long way.
