Speaking of a pandemic flu, it looks like the virus has opened up a second front in Korea

recombinomics.com

The 1933 human virus (WSN/33) has now been fpound on at least 6 farms and it is mixed with at least 3 different avian flu viruses. The human virus definitley came from a lab, but no one knows how it got from a lab to the pigs, but they could be a major problem, especially the H1N1 versions, which should be quite transmissible from human to human, and since its from 1933 most people won't have immunity.

I really don't think you've ever had an appreciation for the 9/11 attacks. I've always assumed your lack of understanding was due to geography. Perhaps I was wrong.

Nevertheless, trivializing the impact of terrorism on our nation is no way to solve a potential catastrophic epidemic. They're only related in that one could be the cause of the other.
