We started posting on this yesterday. Maybe chance? Maybe genetic quirks? Maybe differences in health care techniques? Maybe difference in lifestyle?

In China, people spit on the floor. In Toronto, many of them drank from the same wine chalice.

Ideally, not just medical epidemiologists should be asking the question, but also public health/social services/anthropology types.

Not just "where were you in the last two weeks?" but also -

What have you eaten in the week or two before you got sick and where? Same for drink. Same for sex. Same for entertainment. Study everything, like a detective.

That's how they finally solved the mysteries of kuru and scrapie.
