Or we could conclude that we dodged a bullet this time and make some tough decisions to reduce the likelihood of a far more deadly outbreak in the future.

Ignoring, of course, that this bullet is still stacking bodies like cordwood. Just not American bodies.

Anybody want to estimate a non-zero probability of the first happening?
