Yeah, I know all about Amoy and poop.My question is how many SARS patients were misdiagnosed as having Myco P,instead of SARS?

I am asking this because the man in North Carolina ,not the Sars man, not the dead man , but the third man, supposedly does not have SARS, he has Myco p.

My question is isnt it high strangeness for 3 men in the same workplace to have pneumonia?

One SARS, one mycoplasma,one unknown as yet?

The import being how many myco P victims are /were really SARS?

So I dont look so dumb, one site says myco is a virus, one says its a bacteria related organism,one says it has characteristics of both.

So, which is it?

Also, for my questions of is there massive misdiagnoses going on re SARS and Myco P., it dosnt matter.

I have resorted to AOL, and I may be able to post at last! LOL!

Realistically, people get "walking pneumonia" all the time. Because of the panic over SARS, people may be inclined to rush to worry over a normal case of walking pneumonia. The dead man, who was only 45, is another story, but he was ill for a lot longer than the index SARS patient.

FYI, we are having a bizarre summer down here in NC. Last year we were in the 4th year of a drought and this year we are having so much rain, that mildew is growing on everything. The young corn has all turned yellow and no one can harvest their hay. This weather is reminiscent of 1816 (The year there was no summer).

People are more susceptible to respiratory infections when they have an excesses number of allergic reactions. And this mold and mildew is causing an unprecedented number of problems here.

I thought that was unusual also.

Why were posts 89, 90, 91 and 92 removed?
