"I seem to have developed a tinfoil hairdo lately..."

ROFLOL! Didn't they use that tinfoil for frosting/highlighting?

All day I have been thinking more seriously about this being bio terrorism. Then, my thoughts turn to maybe this is just the first shot. Maybe they have more.

"Maybe they have more."

They don't need more if this isn't stopped by quarantine and isolation now. This will unravel our civilization. If we are cut in half, it really changes everything in a downward spiral. If China's population is cut in half, it probably would improve.

Picture yourself like Scarlet O'Hara... yanking a turnip out of the dirt and chomping on it in desparation. Not to mention that China will have enough of a populatiuon to have a standing army.

But did you think of this angle, if we did stop slowing it down via quarantine,(if it is terrorism) all the terrorists would need to do is release more.

New thoughts I had during dinner, if this were terrorism, whoever is responsible would have to have a "cure". Anything else is far too risky. From what we know of modern science could a terrorist sponsoring state have a cure or vaccine for a complex RNA designer virus (speclation on my part)...That's a big if..

The next argument would be "but they don't care if they die in the process of killing everyone". That is where I say the big guys behind the scenes do. Al Queda, Bin Laden and whoever else is just the hired muscle, IMO.

I don't think it is terrorism. I do think it could very well be biowarfare.

Quote "Yes, I know SARS is in the US but that wasn't the case until recently. So far to date, the US has not had any fatalities (that I've heard about)"

Umm yeah you believe that??? HAHHAA...you are being lied to!

The United States is not telling the truth about SARS!

What do you know about HHV-6, if anything

Can HHV-6 Be a Cofactor in SARS? HHV-6 is known to infect the lungs and is a chronic infection that can be reactivated or exacerbated by other conditions or infections. It has been linked to respiratory distress by itself. The good news is that if it is a contributing factor to SARS morbidity and mortality, it might be controlled by drugs like Foscarnet. Physicians would be wise consider the possibility the HHV-6 is aiding the SARS agent in harming the alveolar macrophages of the lungs of some or all of the SAR patients. It would be a great tragedy if any SARS patients are dying unnecessarily from the contribution that HHV-6 might be making to lung pathology in SARS.
