The article doesn’t make this huge leap–modestly, I must admit I’m the one flinging myself over the whitewater–but it does suggest that people aware and fearful of disease keep other people at a distance. If it’s true, the internet should remove that fear and enable them to be extrovert.

Hmm.

Will we see a new set of disease fears arise? People afraid of the virus-like spread of ideas, prejudices and misinformation?
