On the plus side we already have a vaccine for this one, and we have a known medical treatment for it that should work well.
It sucks but this was one we were actually preparing for and expecting to eventually happen.

We have a vaccine for COVID too...
There's a difference here.
We have a vaccine.
We eventually had a vaccine.
The group in question will treat this vaccine like that vaccine, if that wasn't clear.
It's not a matter of when, it's a matter of what. Antivax don't give a damn.
And that's fine. What we need to do is not collectively be pushovers and call them out on their bullshit this time around. While not universal, many of us averted our eyes and ignored their behavior and I honestly feel it's costing us.
Though hopefully there is no "this time".
We were also fully expecting SARS COVID diseases based on the previous epidemics, so preparation doesn't do much if people intentionally undermine it.
