Pock-marked? Is that caused by some type of pox, like chicken pox or small pox? For those conspiracy buffs, all those fowl that China had to kill off a few years back. Wonder if they developed an agent from the fowl and sold it on the black market? What a scenario!
Doesn't Russia (or ex-USSR scientists who are hiding it) actually still have the small pox virus? Seems I heard that on a documentary not that long ago.
