QUOTE (Livsh @ 21/12/2011, 02:25 PM) It is just a matter of time before something like H5N1 will be transmissable, research to understand that will lead to treatments that will help WHEN it does happen! In this case it was good research and not a crazy superbug!! This. In this case ,the researchers did not set out to create a superbug ,it just happened but it could easily happen in the wild. We need to prepare for the inevitable. QUOTE Err the CDC (centre for disease control) has let a virus that causes a serious lifelong multisystem neurological disease that is killing thousands of people, free since the mid 1980's, when they took months to respond to an outbreak of it. I'm not aware of this. What is it?

Frankly, I'm more concerned about idiots who fail to take antibiotics properly and hospital staff who fail to wash hands properly.

Yep, well said!! that's hardly going to make the front pages though...'man-made super virus' vs 'Dr's don't wash hands' My boss told me the other day that he was feeling a bit sick so he took some left over antibiotics...I gave him a good bollocking about a) completing the ENTIRE course and B) NOT TAKING LEFT OVER ABs!!
