I'm not sure about your can of Whoop Ass, unless you mean the latest antiviral drugs - and these are incredibly expensive.

I'm interested in the pathophysiology of the disease - getting at turning off the inflammatory response so these people stop dying, and figuring out just how this organism initiates such a dramatic pneumonia. Should be interesting.

With the virus now isolated, scientists in Hong Kong and elsewhere can move forward quickly to characterize the agent, determine its relationship with known viruses, and establish a definitive identity. Results will be shared among 11 leading laboratories in a network set up on Mon 17 Mar 2003 by WHO.



My friend I'm sure you realize that antiviral drugs are not the answer.

When Virologists open a can of W.A. it entails looking into the soul of this bug, finding it's soft spot and developing a vaccine that will protect the lives of our friends and loved ones.

There will be some of the best and brightest in this quest...

Maybe it has an autoimmune trigger.
