SARS

Glad to see the old prejudices sitll going strong.

What 'prejudice?' They eat cats and that's how the experts are thinking the disease was transmitted, from raising the animals and handling the meat. Whether they should or shouldn't eat civets isn't my business, true, but the facts are the facts, is all I'm saying.

I for one am massively impressed by the way knowledge and research data about this disease has travelled through the international medical community. I think the way this has been handled by the WHO etc. is nothing short of amazing, really. Look at where we years ago with regard to similar new illnesses. Like Wow.

Im still a bit piss about the travel advisory.

It's the gleeful dissmenination of the 'facts' that is distasteful.

oh, okay
