After January 24, there's no excuse. This was in the public domain.
On January 24, I didn't know enough to realize how seriously I should take an article like this. But any half-functional government, anywhere, would have an advisor whose whole job was to stay on top of things like this.
We have whole government *agencies* devoted to "staying on top of things like this."

I presume that everyone, now--as a result of our collective crash course in epidemiology, virology, zoonotic disease, and SARS--can see how little expertise you would have needed, on Jan. 24,
to grasp that what that article meant.

That article might have been titled, "DEFCON3."
