Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus has claimed 75 lives so far. Areas of Hong Kong are quarantined, it is spreading, so far to Singapore and Canada. The surgical masks people are wearing are an absolute waste of time as within half a minute of wearing one the moisture in your own breath renders them useless. Some people are responding to treatment but the most likely to die one would imagine would be the elderly, children and those with a pre-existing medical condition in which their immune systems are compromised.
Is there anyone else who is wondering whether this is a natural occurrence of a new strain of virus or whether it’s something a little more sinister?

Multirole.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been around for a while now. It’s when they ride together that we have to worry. I don’t think that time is here just yet but there are certain areas of the globe where conditions for their impending arrival are becoming more fortuitous.

Yes they hinted it can be a man made disease.
Sadly…right now the world is stuck between war and disease.

A couple of hours ago my wife and I were watching a news update about SARS and I also speculated about the possibility that it might have a sinister origin. Perhaps we are responding to the fact that chem/bio weapons have been in the news so much during the last few years.
