Steady on Elm. I love a good conspiracy and of course they are pandemic more than sars and always have been. But that one is beyond the pale. Humanized sars was going to happen sometime. We're very lucky that it's the relatively tame WuFlu variety with 5% mortality rather than the H5N1 variety which if humanized would kill 69% of the infected. That would be a world champion disease comparable with good old bubonic plague that cut Europe's population a few centuries ago. It doesn't matter if people in China buy USA companies. I have done that for decades. This is not human war, it's virus war. Old as the hills. I am thinking every man for himself might be a better approach than locking everyone up for months. People will figure out that they should wear breathing protection and avoid contact with possible infection sources. Those who can't figure it out or do anything about it will be reduced in the gene pool, as has always happened with all challenges. Donald Trump recognizes the lethal aspect of economic depression. A month or so locked up is almost a nice holiday and food for thought. Ideas on how to handle humanized H5N1 can be considered. USA for example might consider putting 80% of its military budget into defence against that. Mqurice
