Well thank you simole, I'm crashing. It feels different this year. I know we've said it before and may again.

In many ways things have been building. Mostly since 2001, there was a big shift from where science, disease, and the media portrayed it.A huge shift in how governments created hundreds of labs all over the globe, and huge amounts of money flowing in.

It is difficult to break through the info. Bottom line, a lot of people are unprepared. I'm not just focused on Ebola,pandemic flu, Nipah, or really any one in particular.

The threads are not to fear monger, but to try and post realistic updates. Many times those citing government reassurance that everything is a OK,can be suspicious when most reports appear to be the opposite o on some occasions.
