I agree totally. Health officials should make no comment and take no action until "hundreds of thousands" die. Then we will know it's a pandemic and authorities can start taking action.

Doesn't EVERY pandemic start with a small number of dead? Didn't the black death kill 50 before it killed millions? If it is an illness that has a high likelihood of causing death, is at least moderately communicable, and we don't know much about how to treat it successfully and quickly, then I would expect authorities to be working on it.
