If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Geez, if they'd waited a bit they could've tested it on Saddam Hussein and a few of his mates eh......
And they all thought the commies were gonna kill us?
Might dig out that copy of Twelve Monkeys again...
I hope you are right Jim... time will tell, I suppose.
Diarrhoea is hereditary - it runs in your jeans

I was into the whole 'punk' movement as a youth....and with that scene went the anti vivisection brigade. But I could never agree with that side of it, as to me (yes selfish as it is) humans can pull rank for a reason, and that reason is we're (generally speaking) always looking for ways to survive.
I don't condone spraying hairspray into a helpless animals eyes to see if it blinds us....but.....
Well I'm not *that* old (OK, well maybe - but we breed slowly in my family) but my Grandfather died of the 1918 flu. He was fit, healthy and in his early 20s, and my mother was just a few months old at the time. As the article points out, people literally drowned in their own body fluids, not a nice experience I imagine.
That was one of the features of the virus, it killed young healthy people, which is unusual for influenza. It's been recognised for a while that it was the host (immune) response that did the damage, which is one of the reasons why health authorities really are concerned about the possibility of "bird-flu" causing a pandemic if human-human transmission arises.
