>>pandemic flu would make terrorism seem like a walk in the park<< Yes, some (including Russia) have projected 1 billion deaths (that's with a B not an M and its human not chicken deaths). recombinomics.com

Viruses of Mass Destruction The emergence of a pandemic flu virus is 'not only inevitable, but overdue.' By John M. Barry In 1918 a virus that normally infected birds exploded into the deadliest disease outbreak in human history. Symptoms of the so-called Spanish influenza were so violent that some victims broke ribs from coughing fits; others bled from the mouth, nose, ears, and eyes; still others turned such a dark blue that a physician confessed "it is hard to distinguish the colored men from the white." Half the dead were young adults. City after city ran out of coffins; many imitated Philadelphia's use of steam shovels to dig mass graves for bodies wrapped in winding sheets. (cont.) fortune.com

a note on influenza and related illnesses from 1970's to 2002 probably no more than 4-5 flu episodes for me been a healthy bastard, fortunately no illnesses all through difficult 1999, 2000 years brief flu in 2001 lasted only 2-3 days nothing in 2002 then in Feb 2003, a nasty flu with bronchial and respiratory symptoms it lasted 10-12 days I had been active as swimmer and runner year-round strong as hell heart & lung systems this summer 2004, the worst summer flu of my entire life same nasty symptoms involving bronchials and respiratory it lasted 6-8 days but this time, the bronchial scum crapp lingered despite strong and active, a lingering cough, nothing serious first time I swam three weeks later, the minor flu returned ok in 2-3 days cool water surely had an effect next time I swam a month later, the minor flu returned ok in 5-6 days still got the lingered bronchial crapp cough again cool water effect, didnt expect repeated occurrence my conclusion: SARS HAS MUTATED INTO LESS VIRULENT FORM IT CIRCLES THE GLOBE (just coughed now) SARS HAS WEAKENED, BUT NOT GONE AWAY taking antibiotics just for good measure, and having chicken soup wondering in my deeper recesses, whether some sort of viruses have been unleashed into the atmosphere I have never been less healthy in my adult life / jim
