Alarming is an understatement.

Thanks

Thanks, JA. Yeah, that was part of what my friend told me yesterday... the stuff that I wanted to disseminate. I couldn't believe at first that I was his links reading it correctly. That conversation was one of them.

As I said, I posted on this over at my blog, trying to put what together as best I could for my readers. But, I run a political blog, and do not pretend to be an expert on Molecular biology. My hope is to direct them to these threads and other sites for good and timely information. But, most of all, I want to get my readers interested in this subject as soon as possible, if not yesterday. Its past spooky!

Bump to read later...........after I pack Mr. RR's suitcase for a business trip to China. Certainly would like to have some ammo to talk him out of going.

From the article. “Previously, strains of Ebola in China always had the EBO prefix.

What outbreaks? Lab contamination? Bio weapons blow back? Mad monkeys storming north? Or maybe a sailor from Africa with a case of Marburg?

While the Streptococcus suis has been known to infect and kill man, its impact has never been known to be so drastic. While it may does a role in this outbreak, it isn’t the main cause of the outbreak

Talked with my Dad about this last night. He does remember people getting sick with Suis, but it was that severe. More like a bad cold. He saw the article on Fox also and wondered just what was going on.

Streptococcus is a fungus

No, strep is not a fungus. Probably didn't make it through the translation right.

We definitely cannot accept their assistance. With the participation of the WHO, our national secrets would be revealed. And it would severely tarnish the international reputation of China. And this is not just a medical issue. The region’s poor healthcare facilities, living conditions, the chemical pollution, corruption etc will be laid bare for the word to see

Clincher for me. We have been hearing more and more about China's problems with farmers and others lately. Inviting in aid would lay bar the real cost of China's economic expansion. They are not willing to do that.

Either way, if this is genuine, then we (as in the world at large) have a HUGE problem brewing up in China's back country.

Great, now I won't get much sleep tonight.
