From the Paper:

"We have become so accustomed over the last 15 years about warnings over the deadliness of HIV and AIDS that it sometimes seems that we have forgotten the perils that other viruses represent to humanity " or at least until there is a spectacular outbreak of a virus like Ebola or one of the other tropical, very hot viruses. And then we (here in the relative safety of the United States, where we are unlikely to be the victims of a terrible tropical virus " despite the many thrillers and movies that suggest otherwise) think uneasily about the animal-like viruses, so small that for centuries their existence had to be guessed at and extrapolated rather than known."
