Not only is there y2k but do to the balanced buget act Medicare and Medicade , hospitals best reinbursement , hospitals are quickly going in the red. It is said at the current rate 7 out of ten hospitals will be in the red by 2001. Bills 70 billion surplus comes from necessary programs.

If you are talking about the enchepalitis outbreak in NY...

If Y2K slows cross border travel we may indirectly reap the benefit of not having as many opportunities for a plague to develop.

Al-D,

Was chatting with my doctor not long ago about wierd bugs. He said he had recently sent a throat culture to the CDC. They had never seen the virus. There are lots of unusual viruses floating around out there waiting to git ya.

Not only the NY bug, but also the threat of plague from the aftermath of the flooding (including rotting animal corpses sewage overflows). I'm glad not to have to travel to the East Coast for six months. This is not a time to be out there if you can help it. Similar world wide problems in the aftermaths of the recent spate of earthquakes.

If our preparations keep people warm, dry, fed, clean, and hydrated, we will be doing a lot to keep them healthy. And healthy people are more likely to survive.

Speaking of the aftermath of flooding,I just read an article that may pertain to it.

This is from The Idaho Observer

snip

The CU reported that at least two epidemiologic studies in the scienctific literature had addressed the issue of dietary risk factors for CJD.

Both found links to pork.Other species at risk for prion infections,according to the CU,included chickens and mink as well as other animals that may eat SWINE WASTE contaminants that commonly SPILL INTO RIVERS AND STREAMS or spread through fertilizers to open fields thus infecting grains and grazing animals.(emphasis mine)

can,t remember the web-site, but some months ago, i was surfing science sites-came across some pretty-spooky stuff,the sceintists are sweating bullets. a few tell the truth.

I know what you mean,when I first heard of mad cow disease afew years ago,I could not understand why the people weren't being warned of the danger.

A dear friend told me "medicine goes down a easier with alittle sugar".My wish for you is a calmness that will bring you peace.

Have brother in New Jersey and still can't drink the water due to aftermath of Floyd. Can only imagine what the pollution is like from the rotting swine and other animals in NC.

Al-d has been banned from Pastor Chris's site for some time. They seem to have higher standards over there and chased this fool away. You see, Mr. Driscol is somewhat of a scumbag that wouldn't pay his gambling debts and took the 'boys' to court for attempting to collect. The story is that he won a settlement of $11 million dollars (guess they were asking real hard for the money owed) but has yet to see a penny of it. He and his wife (Marianne) were pleading for the folks on Pastor Chris's site to pray for them....to no avail. He is giving the hillbilly's of the world a bad name, not to mention the honest Christians of the world. Unfortunately, he has developed somewhat of a following on this forum and continues to pollute the threads at will. Kind of like waiting to see what the village idiot will do next....

Folks have you wondered what happened to the health people. I thought they were supposted to check on shipments to this country. Free trade can be hell. Death happens because money is all.

-- ET (bneville@zebra.net), September 28, 1999.

Incase,

are you saying Al-D is Mr. Driscol also known as (dogs@zianet)?

-- Maggie (aaa@aaa.com), September 28, 1999.

Mr. Case: THAT was WHOLLY uncalled for. The recent difficulties are past. You may try to re-ignite them and reap the same fate.

OR, as Paul Milne would say:

DROP IT BUTTHEAD!!!

I read about that too. The scientist said to watch for the first plague, which would be a plague of incoherent religious ranting coming and going in phases.

You should talk with your boss (D. Squire) before you run off at the mouth. There is another Al-d post about 15 down you might like to read. Do what you say moderators or give it up.

If you're interested in a good review of "natural" mechanisms for the spread of viral and bacteriologic plagues I'd reccomend the book "The Coming Plagues" (sorry author's name doesn't come to mind). The gal who wrote it won a Pulitzer for reporting on Ebola a few years back. It's fairly dry but extremely informative and very well done. It deals with things like smallpox, Lasa, Hanta, malaria, Legionaires, Swine flu, toxic shock, ebola, etc. An excellent read if you're interested in the topic.

Ken Alibek's book "Biohazard" deals with the Dark side of the this field, ie., intentionally engineered and spread bioagents. It's an absolutely chilling work that scared the hell out of me. However, if one presumes that such might happen (the Feds are afraid it might) then a little knowledge could go a long way toward keeping you and your loved ones safe. As bad as bioagents might be (in my estimation worse than nukes) we've been dealing with naturally occuring ones for a long time and it is doable.

Best of luck.....DCK
