| Indeed... I was in a rather starky mood when I posted that. I'm not at all opposed to staying away from people.. not just for diseases like SARS, but for any number of other things as well. And as for the corporate dollar, Well, all I can say is that there is no money in the cure. It's simple treatment of symptoms, and help you live longer so you'll be giving them more money for further symptom treatment. It's a sad state of affairs I'm afraid, but true. I agree that someone should have said something about it sooner, but we can only look for better luck in the future, because we can't sit around and point fingers, questioning the past, and who did or didnt do what. It's a waste of time. Also, speaking of wasting time, it is also safe to say that watching too much TV, Via News is bad for you. Half of it is biased, and the other half is just bad news, and most of the time it is all one in the same. Choose carefully who you want to listen to, and choose even more carefully who or what you think is true. I'm not at all downplaying SARS.. I'll admit that its damn scary, but we must keep our feet on the ground, and our heads held high. Cure or not, there wont be anything left of us if we panic and go into mass hysteria over a virus... if theres any virus that needed that, it would have been AIDS, but we haven't ran for the hills just yet, in any case. Hopefully we'll get out of this alive. AIDS takes 8-12 years for it to start its deadly process, waiting in your body like a shadowlurker. SARS is a different kind of animal altogether, and airborne on top of it all. Pray, Meditate, do what you will, just don't panic.... Yet. |
