atishoo atishoo we all fall down

Atypical influenza has called more people globally since records began in France and Sweden in the Seventeenth century.

More people in 1919 than WW1.
the WAR weakened their Imunity.
immunity is an important word.
more than one generation have learnt its spelling in such acronyms as AIDS SIDA and need I go on?

There is changing demogaphic mortality and resistance to some of the most common illnesses.

Before I even treat upon atypical asiatic viral pneumonia I should brief the reader on TB Hepatitis, Ebola, Typhus, Typhoid, Cholera, and other more exotic xenotransitive viruses.

But it is rather late at night at the time of writing and I would earn no special points would I?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

The 'flu may kill you. It may have killed your great grand uncle and aunt, but many common conditions common to humanity with the exception of the 1st world are treatable.

But it is very expensive.
This is of course as you know due to ·Patents·, and the idea of property.

Now as we all have been busy drawing attention to death we have allowed the progress of EU NAFTA and G8 health patenting to go carrying the same level of wideband activist scrutiny.

if an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then it might be an idea to allow irrigation of the dryer places.
o' as-if thanks you for your attention and time in reading this. :-)

Adenovirus flu, has little symptoms untill you start passing blood, then you know you've got it.

Iosaf, read Dr.Oliver Sacks' "Awakenings". Many that were not killed by that outbreak had very interesting symptoms afterwards including catatonic states for decades. I think Harold Pinter wrote a play about it too.

They cant protect you from TB, but Noel Browne was great wasn't he?
They cant protect you from Hep.
unless you're a health worker.
They couldn't protect you from Syphilis.
(that really was the last thing they expected in Dublin. but they have the highest uptake in Europe)
they cant protect you from much.

Bush or moral courage to talk peace.
these are Irelands options for "bio-war" defence.
