I doubt it is a bio weapon. Even if it is a serious item to those over 40, and there is a death rate progression, those of 90 aren't too worried. The articles I read indicates the disease is no worse than a politically correctly named Asian Flu and it is a cross between Clamydia and Pneumonia. Who knows what they were eating in Hong Kong?

I don't believe the Asian Flu killed 3 to 4% of those who got it. That's 1 out of 25 people dead. Those aren't good odds. If FR has 40,000 members 1,600 would die. 12,000,000 would die in the US if everyone got it. No small thing.
