Time to go rent the movie "Outbreak" with Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Get a little taste of what is going down in the Middle Kingdom over Sarsmania.

Think I saw it years ago.

The virus is no longer merely a respiratory virus. It used to be -- hence the name: "SARS."

It was respiratory two weeks ago ... now it causes immediate degeneration of the lymph system, kidneys, spleen, liver and intestines. The victims die from a total breakdown of their immune system and drown in blood from lungs that are infested with huge rotting holes.

The virus is mutating rapidly, and there will be no quick cure because it is different today than it was yesterday. Doctors do not even agree on what type of virus is causing the problem. They have identified 9 different types of coronavirus DNA in this coronavirus. But the virus also has traits like measels and mumps which a totally another type of virus.

News was out just a few days ago: "SARS DNA decoded." But the virus has changed and is changing even now. Maybe we will all get lucky and the virus will mutate into a harmless coronavirus that is deadly only to camels. That would be just fine with me.

Hope it is loose in Iran right now killing all their camels.

What I remember about that movie is a scene where people are in the movie theatre and someone sneezes or coughs and it shows the droplets spraying over the people in front. Yikes!

So they are going to start dropping FAE devices on villages to contain it ?

No, this is already a runaway in China.

Make it a double feature: watch "The Omega Man" afterwards. It's a look at Los Angeles a few years after a biowar between Russia and China.

Time for the U.N. to pass an anti-SARS resolution. That'll fix it.
