[Cicero]

It's VERY worrying that SARS has moved into the rat population. They can stop people eating civet cats, maybe, but what are they going to do about rats spreading the disease? It's been long established that rats are too clever and too widespread to exterminate, no matter how hard you try. They are the perfect disease spreaders, as the black plague thoroughly demonstrated in 1348.

I agree not a good development.
