31. You may see a "problem" with my comments, but I confess that I don't....
...have a clue why you profess to be so confused.

I thought that my post was written to be understandable by almost anyone the reads or writes in English. Yes, of all of the people that have been reported to have been infected with the disease, 70-75% have died from the disease. What is it about that statement that you either don't understand, or don't want to understand?

And yes, because of the long incubation period of about 10+ days, people can very well be carrying the disease to another country before they become ill themselves. Again, what is it about that statement that you either don't understand, or don't want to understand?

And finally, yes, I believe that the Vietnamese waited too long to cooperate with WHO, and to begin to find out how far the disease has spread in their country. That would mean, by default, that we don't know how many may be carrying the disease even as we speak, would it not? Additionally, they have recently tested the brain tissue of a child that died last year of an undetermined cause...three guesses what they found? So, what is it about those statements that you either don't understand, or don't want to understand?

And what difference does it make that we now have antibiotics, when we don't know what form the Avian Flu will take when it begins to easily infect humans? The 1918 Pandemic killed 5% of those it infected, and we didn't have antibiotics. The Avian Flu is killing 70-75% of those it infects, and they ARE being treated with antibiotics.

Are you starting to get the picture or do you want to come back at me with another condescending set of comments?

Maybe you're the one that ought to think about what you're posting.
