How are people who reflect my concern above disruptive and/or destructive?

I won't call you destructive, but everyone going around saying how big a deal this might be is contagious. The last thing we need is people flooding the health system with false alarms and buying up medical resources and whatnot on the general market.

That said, I do agree that your concern regarding the impact on our healthcare system is similar to mine. I really don't anticipate an outbreak, but 50 cases, the way we handle them, will inspire a public freakout and use up tons of medical resources that may result in dropping the ball on other things (flu?).
