OK, gang, I'm starting this here because it is just getting too distracting on the main Kung-Flu thread and honestly the arguments and/or information can go on forever on these topics.
It is up to the mods if they want to enforce putting this stuff on a separate thread or not, but I thought as a courtesy to people looking for breaking news, I'd start a new thread (and I'm one of the folks who has posted on these other and somewhat distracting topics).
Topics that have come up on the main thread are:
1. Can diseases be targeted for certain racial/ethnic groups?
2. How did smallpox and other near slate-wiper diseases get to the Americas from Europe?
3. What are some of the comparable contagion rates between historical epidemics like The Black Death or Measles and Kung-Flu?
4. What are the markers and/or probabilities that this is a genetically engineered virus?
I'm sure we can think of lots more questions and I look forward to reading ideas and responses.
