Scary stuff. Terrorism immediately hits my head nowadays with these things, I know it's sad but it's how I think.

Seems the WHO are issuing the warnings so I guess it's true.

Yeah this is truly scary, but at the same time the marvel of evolution. Give them a week and I´m sure they will have found something. They will need some time to determine if it is a bacteria or a virus. If it is a bacteria, there are some very strong antibiotics that probably will take care of them. If it is a virus it is a bit worse.... :(

It sounds like they are acting on the side of caution. Only two people have died so far.

It's up to 3 confirmed deaths and 5 deaths that are not yet confirmed to be from this or not.
My boyfriend's real upset because he's been saving up for a trip to Malaysia next month to study Qi Gong (sp?) with a master there and now because of this he may not be able to go. He's been planning this trip for a year, this sucks. I hope they figure it out soon so he can still go because right now he's really upset.

Things always have a way of getting blown out of proportion. It's certainly something to be concerned with, but I won't lose any sleep because of it. There's probably hundereds of thousands of diseases out there that we haven't run accross yet, many probably mutations of ones we've already cured. It's Mother Nature's way of saying that she doesn't like what we're doing to the world.
