What are the odds that the swine flu virus, human flu virus and bird flu virus all got together in Mexico and decided to have a party! I'm not really up on my genetic manipulation of viruses but I just would like to know how likely that would be.
Any biologists out there?
Thanks.
P.S. Mexico just closed it's doors but for essential services for the next five days. Not a global pandemic yet. The CDC has raised the alert to one notch below Global Pandemic. This is getting worrisome.
P.S.S. Calderon says 6-7 percent death rate. world wide, that would be; 420,000,000. About 20,000,000 in this country.
Update: Pandemic peters out but rumors, postings and many "Indy" news pundits wonder, "was this man made?" Maybe. . . maybe not. If it was, it was just a dry run to see what the worlds response would be. If not, It was just a case of very contaminated living conditions for pigs and people making a great culture dish.
Either way, it is sure to make some drug companies and logistics firms mega bucks. Now, in the old days, they had these guys that would come around to your business ( big fellas with nice suits; probably had a scar or two and a bulge or two.) and they would close the door, back you up to a wall and explain how paying them a bit or a lot would keep you and your business safe.
Hmmmmmm?. . . . What do I know?
