Maine is having an unusually high incidence of the Norwalk virus. There are a lot of people showing up in emergency rooms (I guess it is pretty miserable to have). This just happened over the course of MAYBE two weeks. In that time, I have known about a dozen people that have caught it--thankfully I haven't gotten it yet. It may just be a coincidence......but you never know!
It may just be a coincidence......but you never know! I agree, you don't know; on the one hand, you risk "looking foolish" by blaming things on terrorists (or somebody), OTOH, you risk "being foolish" by ignoring everything or believing it's all naturally occurring or coincidences. There seems to be no position to take, on any one event any more, where you look like a paranoid or an ostrich, to different people.
