Beer=bronchitis ? That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. If that would be true, i'd be having some serious problems overhere, don't you think ?
Btw, there IS a problem with pigs, in the Netherlands it's called "varkenspest", which literally means "pigplague". I'm not sure if that's what you English talking people call it though. And all these disseases, each and every one of em, are all created by mankind. Because of what they feed these animals, so that they might grow bigger much faster and stuff.

Not to mention that pigs is one of the culprits when it comes to the common flue.
Anyway, a new virus will always evolve. There's not much we can do about it. However, were we to spend the US military budget for Iraq on viral research perhaps we could find a way to treat the infections. But still, in this modern day, killing goes before curing.

Agree with Baghdad Johhny and Barry. Conservation and husbandry are lost arts.

Sars last year wasn't that scary...though my gf and I did change our holiday from China at the last minute.
Seems scarier this year. Everybody's worried that this could turn into Spanish Flu 2: Avian Boogaloo. My neighbor's maid even got rid of her parakeet, for God's sake, and the Buddhist philosophy of live and let live has been supplanted by one of "kill the pigeons before they kill us". Lovely.
