This is of course very bad for the people involved, but is there any indication that the matter deserves the amount of public attention that it has?

My understanding is, unfortunate souls got infected with nasty disease that hardly crosses between humans, end of story. Am I missing something?

Generally the best time to deal with potential mass infections is before they become uncontrollable. If you act properly and stop a disaster before it becomes one, the situation will be indistinguishable from an overreaction.

You're missing the imperative to keep the populace depressed, apathetic and scared to death.
