It's simple Logan, the liberals need to install fear so that they can justify a bigger more controlling government. To create fear they need an epidemic(or pandemic for that matter) and we MUST act now or we will all die. These epidemics are fads that come and go, when global cooling or warming die down there will be another one to take it's place. Hollywood will decide what it gets to be and only a liberal can save us because the evil Republicans will do nothing.
