Well thank goodness. I've been waiting for years for the next biggest thing since AIDS.

[week 71]

Actually AIDS is preventable. Any disease that cannot be prevented is alot more frightening than Aids to me.

[kinghorse]

You got it. Typical liberal (read rainbow) trash spin.

[Petronski]

Yeah, AIDS is very hard to catch. This thing seems to be pretty easy to get, just from close-spatial contact with a carrier.

Agreed!  I'd like to see all the money we waste on "AIDS research" (Gays and junkies knock it off, AIDS cured) and spent on something like Childhood Luekemeia, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer or SARS - things that kill people every day, who by and large did little to bring the condition on to themselves.

I remember in the early 80's we were told by "informed" sources that both homo/hetersexuals would be infected up to 80/90% of people. I also remember in an Ecology class in college in the 60's that by 2000 we would be stacked upon each other - no food or water. This will all pass over sooner than later & everyone with a strong immune system will not get it. If so, they will not die. (me thinks this is like the computer viruses where the programmers design a virus & have the anti-virus ready to go the week that the virus is let go.) Best worry about Hillary becoming president.

Concern about possible local transmission in the United States increased yesterday with the report that a woman in the Gainesville, Fla., area appeared to have contracted SARS at work.

Great... I live in Gainesville and work in a hospital.

SARS could be biggest disease threat since AIDS, says WHO expert Translation: "we've found another disease we can exploit"

[mabelkitty]

How much more money do they want from the country of infidels?

[Lee Heggy]

Yep, move over Smallpox! Hit the road malaria" You're all washed up Ebola! Here comes SARS!

Don't forget the Castle Anthrax! They have a Grail-shaped beacon.

I wonder if this WHO expert considers kiddie porn a severe threat?

Yep. One of my pet peeves for years now.

[Calpernia]

Ping.
