Inventing The SARS Virus

Dave:

Just for some added info.... pneumonia is "inflammation of the lungs caused by infection or irritants."

Makes the SARS scare mongering seem even more silly now, doesn't it? And notice how wide their SARS net is? A collection of symptoms which are caused by infection or irritants.

Sheesh. They'll never "cure" that. HA!!

As for inventing drugs...

There is a new drug on the market. Can't recall the details without going back over my research... but it's basically for women and something to do with PMS or some such thing. The thing is though... this "new" drug is basically prozac.

The prozac company invented some kind of syndrome women can get, renamed prozac and said it can fix that new syndrome.

Or how's this one get ya...

In highschool I did a research report on a new disease which seemed to come out of nowhere and was effeceting women all over the place.

It was a syndrome and the symptoms included numbness of the legs and buttocks.

The cause of those symptoms was... are you ready... too tight jeans. The tight jeans restricted bloodflow to those areas... specially when seated as the tightness increased.

Seems like a silly syndrome, I know. But restricted bloodflow can have very real and harmful effects. (Teacher gave me top marks for originality - writing about a new thing he had not heard of and one which is also humorous.)

Makes sense... less healty standards of living allow the nasties to thrive.

> Thanks for the grin, DaveH

You're welcome.
