Great Article, you ought to post it. It would definitely get some play

_Jim I feel pretty good about this now. We have turned the corner in Hong Kong, Toronto, Tiawan, Vietnam, and hopefully Singapore (little news from there). China does not have control of this but they are willing to kill their own residents for minor infractions, so they will ruthlessly crack down on this now that they realize it is a threat to China, not just its residents.

The thing that scares me about this disease is one Chinese doctor coughing in front of an elevator infected the index cases for Hong Kong, Vietnam, Toronto, and Singapore (I believe Singapore I will have to find and reread). I just don't want that out in America for my wife or child to catch. It looks like it may not get here.

I haven't heard from them since shortly after they were moved into Y2K Internment Camps several years back ...

You ought to frame that one. It was one of the wittiest I have seen in years.

The thing that scares me about this disease is one Chinese doctor

He seems to have been the 'super-spreader' who treated something like 300 cases (see my tagline for details) in Guangdong province THEN travelled to China ...

Can you imagine being subjected to 300 slightly different mutations THEN leaving the country to infect another? I think that's what did it.
