I studiously avoid doorknobs in public.
I use automatic doors whenever possible, use my foot or wait for someone to come out or go in to open the door then hold it with my elbow or foot.
If necessary, I grab the door way up high where people usually don’t touch.
Grocery stores here provide antibacterial wipes for customers to use on cart handles.
I hardly ever use money, I use credit cards.
If someone coughs near me in public, I immediately stop breathing in and leave the area.
I try to be as conscious of my surroundings as possible without drawing attention to myself.........
Monsanto is all about horizontal gene transfer in Round up Ready seeds.
Bacillus thuringenesis Bt.... ring a bell anyone?
Leaving unanswered the big question. Natural or deliberate?
Almost certainly natural.
If someone were to design a bug to kill - it wouldn’t be one that could be easily avoided by F#^@&# washing your vegetables.
Something spread by a cough would be much more dangerous.
Just use a little logic.
And wash your vegetables.
I can’t for the life of me understand why those are still in one piece.
There is no confirmation, as yet, that the bug is spread by vegetables. This was the original notion, now disproved. The article notes that the origins are unknown.
It may be spreading through the water system. In which case, washing ones vegetables is bad news.
The illness is now in Great Britain, and people have been warned that it could directly transmit from one person to another.
Reread the article:
"All researchers know is that raw vegetables are the most likely carrier."
A good question, in the circumstances.
But Libya is most unlikely to be striking against Germany. Germany is the only EU country to keep right out of the war on Libya. They abstained from the UN vote - would not even say a word. This is because it is a French initiative, and Germany fears that France wants to grab North Africa's oil basin for itself.
I find this e-coli outbreak very surprising, and I am suspicious of the nature of the bacteria. This could be bio-ware. But by who, I don't know.
Me too. And remember that the anthrax attacks were never solved.
It means that it is NOT disproved as you stated ...
The FBI considers them solved.
they compost it.
