I don't think airborne is the problem. But I wouldn't drink a brew there...

Whoa. Bird Flu is sounding pretty good about now.
That is one scary as hell thought.
I dunno, I hate to be one of those alarmist end days types, but there is some serious s#!t cooking on the disease fronts. Several nations newly going nuclear. Rapid changes in the ME. Global warming possibilities and climate changes. Eclipse marking a change in Popes.
How long can you mock and ignore without at least considering the possibiliy....especially if you are one of faith?
I'm not so much a believer in these things as I am curious about them, but it seems logical to a least take note of the warnings. It is interesting, to say the least.
I've read one report suggesting fruit bats might be a vector. The bats,it was guessed,might be spreading the disease by means of their droppings-some of which got onto fruit,which young children were apt to eat without washing.
No evidence was offered,but there was a parallel situation,in which fruit bats were found to be spreading another filovirus by this means.
Another (remote ? ) possibility was deliberate use of biowarfare agents by someone in the Congolese government.
The "Democratic Peoples' Republic" was pretty close to the Russians at one time,and might have "inherited" some of their nasties.

They are also suggesting it came from contaminates vaccine needles reused on the children. :-(
