Frankly, it is nothing short of a miracle we've only had one additional case so far.

Given the hundreds of people (minimum) who were possibly exposed, the fact that only person has actually gotten sick thus far just reinforces how difficult it is to catch.
Had this been a new nasty flu strain, we'd have seen dozens of cases by now. People's fear has blinded them to rational thought on this issue.
