I agree that the media sensationalizes every. That is their job.

From a probability standpoint things like this are inevitable. The only variable that really exists is the time between events. It is no different from ice ages and meteor strikes. It is no an if, but a when.

We are closer to that when now then we have ever been. Human error has already raised the probability of it becoming widespread here. How can the cdc allow a person with any fever at all who worked in the hospital and treated patient 0 fly?

Similarly our domestic hospital personnel are largely uneducated about this particular virus. I can go on and on but from a pure probability sense, strictly probability based on present domestic cases as well as human error and ease of travel in our country, the adds are much more in favor of a larger outbreak then not, at least in my opinion. I am wrong plenty of the time, and in this case I very much hope to be again.
