Pardon me, but I contend that some of their religious rituals in Mexico are part of their overall health problems. Sharing a cup with everyone in the community, and having someone put their hand in every ones mouth? Does not sound like a sanitary environment. Could be why they have so much hepatitis, typhoid, dysentery, and parasite issues.

There was much speculation here on FR and on other forums (blogs) that the virus must be attacking a specific DNA sequence. Otherwise reasonable folks ignored Occams Razor- oftentimes the simplest answer is so obvious yet we choose to ignore it because of our own disposition to such behavior. Specifically when it comes to faith, tradition, ritual, dogma, or creed. Science and reason is clashing with religion here. With predictable results.
