Folks, this is potentially very serious because of the nature of the bug.

It’s an off-season bug and it seems to be killing people in the 25-45 bracket, like the Spanish Flu.

The other problem is that it’s spreading damned fast. It’s actually kind of fascinating to watch.

My medical knowledge is really pretty slim, but based on memory of what I’ve read in the past, the fact that it is happening at all, on any level, is scary as viruses constantly mutate.

Will try to post some info regarding virus mutation and human to human transfer.
