Hmmmm CDC. An American site.

I wonder who it was that wrote:
"A lot of such rubbish is written by Merkins, who manage to make
Little Englanders look intelligent. You need to be able to judge
which authors have Clue and which don't." ;-P

I did. The CDC is a respected organisation, which doesn't mean that
its pronouncements are gospel.

Indeed. And I thought the CDC was a very strange choice of site given that
the disease has not ever been in the US.

The Merkins I was referring to are
a different class of Web-making pest, as undesirable as RSM.

Some American can be very severe pains in the posterior but then so are some
of every nationality.

At last count, three people have died of Hendra Virus.

Let's all start panicking now :-)

That is 100% death rate if you believe your cite of the CDC. Even Ebola is
not that lethal.
