SARS Symptons Er.. That sounds a bit like the Spanish Inquisition. I thought we were out of the middle ages, there, Warren.. "Chinese people should be tortured for the bad things they bring to this world" ... ? What bad things? I have an idea.. how about we torture you for bringing into the world bigotry and hatred? How's that sound? Not too good, I surmise.. "We should stop letting chinese people onto planes and letting them fly to other countries." Er.. Right.. thats so idiotic I don't even have a comment for it. "Lets discriminate Chinese people and lets hope that this SARS situation shall stop and that doctors soon enough shall have a cure for this certain disease." I just have a question about what world you're actually from.. I've heard of idiocy in my day, and have seen it far and wide... Don't get your butthairs in a knot, but sorry to tell you, you're not the biggest idiot out there, so don't go gettin' egotistical on me.. just how's about you take a runnin' leap, man? SARS may be serious, but if idiots like Warren are around, maybe SARS can thin out the gene pool a little before we find a cure. |

SARS Symptons I agree. it is certainly something to worry about, but no panic is necessary. Products are not to be worried about, just people, and only moderately at that. It is safe to say that this, too, may pass. It is also safe to say that it may not, but given that only 3% [as of now] of the recievers of said syndrome are fatalities, it is not yet a serious issue, which is [partially] why I believe the news has not given it much concern. They should have more on the news now then what they have, but... at least we know about it. I talk to a lot of different people on the wbe though, and some have never heard of it. It should at least be known to all, but that, as it stands, is a little too much to hope for, what with the Iraq war, and whatnot. Still, I believe that we will prevail, given the percentage rates of fatalities versus the actual number of people who have gotten it. Doctors and Scientists the like are dilligently working on a cure, or even a vaccine, but it is still early in the proverbial game, and we don't know yet what might happen. |

SARS Symptons 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. |

SARS Symptons Well, let me start off by saying "Haha!" and then going about my business. You see, we reap what we sow... Every revolution carries the seeds of its own destruction. As Humans, we have sown our own destruction in our ambitious plight towards total world overpopulation. So, it is safe to say, that our great Mother Earth intends to weed some of us out, in order to keep balance. Its like this: Everything has a predator, or a weakness. Lions may not have predators, but they have Hyenas to keep their numbers in check... as well as a mating schedule of once a year. Lion cubs die at birth, or in infancy due to causes which are theirs alone. They are at the top of their food chain. We are at our own top, with one weakness: we can only birth one baby per human woman per year. but thats not enough to keep us in check... So we need Viruses and Toxins to infect us, and keep us in check. Our own hyenas are at our heels, ladies and gentlmen, nipping and clawing until they find us with our feet in the air. Our proverbial Hyenas will bring our own houses down around our ears. Wear a mask or not, but when death comes knocking at the door, the only thing you can do is answer the door with a smile. |
