At the very least every passenger should have had mandatory screening on the ground and contact information provided before they left customs. Now they are trying to track down 2000 people who arrived over 10 days. How many people could they have infected by now?

Please don't stir up panic. Unless they test positive don't be scaremongering beforehand

Alarmist headlines in tabloid press about the 'killer virus'. 'Ordinary' flu kills hundreds of thousands of people globally every year. They need to get a grip & report facts accurately (not going to happen).
