It's really disgusting how the world has shut down over this, devastated the economy, media just frothing at the mouth over it like a pack of wild dogs. But where was the concern for the huge amounts of people dying every year from undernourishment world wide??. Out of sight out of mind

Agreed. Hoards dying from starvation, civil strife and environmental extremes are things that happen to "little, brown people" in far away countries. Easily deselected from our media and consciousness.
But when something like this lobs into our shiny, I'm-all-right-Jack, first world then it's a catastrophe.
I hope that the world becomes a kinder, more compassionate place on the other side.
