Lets talk about the Swine flu...

I was watching Anderson Cooper 360 last night and they were in the Congo with a leading epidemiologist (sp?) who was showing how the diseases, like AIDS, that jump from animals to humans can really become resistant to vaccines and really spread globally in very little time with the ease of air travel.

Granted, not many here are hacking monkeys and getting in contact with their blood, but it's still scary.

Heck, not far from me, in Lake county, I think they still eat armadillos.

The doctor was saying there are signs of very strong and scary diseases emerging and he seems to think it is a question of "when" and not "if" we are faced with a very large global pandemic.

I went to bed kind of scared.
