Reactionary and short sighted
 

Any permanent standard must address the requirements for all infectious disease outbreaks. It is more effective and efficient to establish a broad standard for each category of risk, i.e.: Airborne, Waterborne, Bodily fluid etc. Creating a standard for a Novel Virus potentially excludes other similar hazards. Invest the effort to address this properly or prepare to do it over next time a Novel Infection occurs.
