The last SARS outbreak could have easily become a pandemic, but was contained with fast action, quarantines, closing of schools and all the usual stuff - but it still managed to spread to 35 or so countries, infect 10,000 people and kill around 750 - not sure I would label this 'media generated hype' ?
