it certainly could be nothing for the moment (no doubt), but the genetics prof i did lab work for in my 3rd and 4 yr summers is *very* concerned...

I was laughing at "How in the heck can something like that come up and nobody has a cure" and "with aids you had to have fluid contact, that stuff however flies thru the air"
I am hyper aware of these sorts of things. As I said in the other thread, I knew about it more than two weeks ago and started taking stuff to build my immune system. But comparing it to an airborne AIDS and wondering how something like SARS can pop up without a cure is just too much... I can only laugh it off, I am more than aware of the coming pandemic and the existing antibiotic resistant superbugs.
the spanish flu took 40 million in 1917-18, and as I said in the other thread a million each in '58 and '68.. with global air travel, and the opening up of the biggest flu engine to the world with China's increased global participation, the next killer flu will be a global life changing event. We're almost overdue for it.
