This SARS disease is fucking scary. The latest scoop from USA Today. The one beef I have with this article is it claims “it is not contagious if protective measures are used.” Yeah, right. Most of its victims have been doctors and nurses. Not the kind of people to take chances with germs.
I read yesterday that seven people caught SARS simply by flying in the same airplane as one of its victims. That’s right – just by being in the same airplane.
Here are some more links about the disease: one from the Center for Disease Control, and more links from Google News.
If the Smirker’s War wasn’t chewing up headlines, this disease would have people heading for the hills. I think Kelly and I will put off visiting our friends the Hibbles in Australia this year. 🙁
