Master M, where on Earth did you get your information about casualities in the US being the highes in the world. You must mean WHO reports at least a simi-truthfull body count.
Does anyone think where the SARS scare came from had more or less of a body count than the US? Their people are governmental science projects on an ongoing basis. Do people really think small vacation resort countries, are going to report the truth about sicknesses.. HELL NO.
It reminds me of people firing weapons in the air but NOT taking responsibillity for where they land.. Out of sight out of mind.. It's still pretty simple, wash your friggen hands and wear a mask. FU%K the O2 count, workout LESS, but wear a mask in closed environment and close quarters.. Inside or out..
WASH you dirty hand.. I haven't been sick from colds, flu, repiratory infection or ANY communicable disease in 15 years.. I flew nonstop in cramped airplains and never got respiratory cooties.. Good hygiene BETWEEN myself and others.. I DON'T swap spit. Just with the dog...:-)
Regards
