I was about to say something like that. Only less diplomatic.

People are remembering how previous, highly publicised breakouts turned out to be minor. At least globally.
They forget the immense effort by WHO and similar to prevent the outbreaks from becoming pandemics. SARS and N1H1 both were contained. Partially because they weren't as deadly as first thought, but definitely also due to enforced measures.

This new one, by all indications is no spring flu. This one kills, and if it does start spreading between humans directly, we are in trouble.

At least it'll probably help solve the global overpopulation problem rather efficiently.

There are, but there is no way we can produce enough electricity to replace Nuclear and coal.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see that increase in demand still outstrip added renewable sources.

Then there is the electric cars everyone is touting. They need power, and they need a LOT of it.
