Post #232,188 by Ashton 11/2/05 6:05:25 PM Reply	But they aren't planning for that -- The fear is in the (whatever %likelihood) of a mutated strain capable of airborne infection. It seems that the boffins believe such a mutation is likely - only no way to estimate how quickly. Kinda like the state-of-art in volcano eruption predicting (?) As suggested above - with this Admin, 'quarantine' possibilities are limitless, with True Believers. Oh well; if there Is karma..
