lummox Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 how many kids die each year from having the runs? this sars ain't nothin compared to that shit. just some hyped up chest cold bullshit. just quit smoking the pall malls, and you'll be okay Quote
klenke Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 We've got the West Nile Virus coming at us from the east and SARS from the west. In the middle is Washington State, the breeding ground for much misery to come perhaps? This summer in the mountains I'm going to be looking at every mosquito trying to a get drink out of me a little differently. No, instead of just annoying me, the damn bug is gonna be trying to kill me!! There's your WMD right there. Mosquitos trained by terrorists? Quote
JoshK Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Maybe I am being naive (I dont know shit about this stuff) but it seems to me that 2300 cases in a country of well over a billion isn't very many. And considering it only has a 3% fatality rate in third world dump, I guess I'm just not totally freaked out. Can somebody give me a reason to be? Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 The war in Iraq isn't getting the ratings anymore, so the media had to come up with something else... this sounded like a good epidemic to jump on. Quote
allison Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 I've been monitoring the CDC website, and this is not a matter I'm inclined to take so lightly anymore. Quote
Off_White Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 So what makes you so immune to breathless panic Josh! Rational thought is well and good, but what about all those folks not capable of it? If this country was any good at statistics and probability, we'd sell a lot fewer lottery tickets. You know, the tax on those who aren't too good at math? Quote
lummox Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 unless you have immuno deficiency, or lung disease, you'll probably survive sars. now that red wine addicition is something that'll catch your ass for sure somewhere down the road fo 40 years. Quote

allison Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 So tell me, how did we get from "hey that Malbec is pretty good", to "red wine addiction"? That makes about as much sense as the Saddam/Osama connection. And feel free to make light all you want. I've had my share of Chinese colds in the last year, and they are a lot harder to kick than the regular American kind. At this point I'm not convinced that by tomorrow there aren't going to be mandatory quarantines by the looks of the CDC information. Quote

Its "Gulf War II" sickness. Quote
