Well, just how friggin' disruptive do they think a pandemic with NO attempts to slow transmission will be???? Is it just me or is this just about the most asinine things we have seen quoted so far? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=82&Obj ectID=10364391

Good point Corn. They are probably the same folks who believe that we (the teaming masses) just clutter up the scenery and could use a bit of a thinning.

Brisk Holiday Travel in Asia (English) HANOI, Vietnam, Jan. 26, 2006 — Despite fresh bird flu outbreaks among poultry and new human deaths, tourists are traveling en masse across Asia during the region's peak travel season ahead of the Chinese New Year. "According to the figures from hotels, they've never known such a high occupancy rate," said Olivier Colomes, general director of Exotissimo Travel Group in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the country hardest-hit by avian influenza. "We were really scared about this because everybody was talking about the bird flu as if it would happen tomorrow, but so far nothing has happened." http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/story?id=1540073&page=1 Edited by Corn |
