I sure hope they put a different team in charge of dealing with SARS than the one appointed to deal with a possible smallpox emergency. Those guys shuffled their feet and dithered for two years, and still have barely accomplished anything.

The way I figure it, SARS is likely to break loose next fall. If things go really wrong, we could see tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of deaths world-wide in the first year it really gets loose.

So, three years is better than ten. But I hope Bush has managed to put some competent people in charge this time, not a bunch of clintonoid condom pushers and sex educators.

A vaccine for the Feline Coronavirus actually results in worse disease, not less, when cats catch the virus.

I guess someone needs to tell the Pfizer company and about a 100,000 veterinarians this little piece of information. What I can tell, the technology for the vaccine in cats is effective with few side effects because of the nasal delivery system. I think I read spin here.
