Yeah, but I wouldn't put it beyond them to have..modified it. And it's not nasty as long as it's caught early..and the early symptoms are not that distincive in some people. So it's not a mass threat but an outbreak would likely cause a few fatalities. Andy Dawn Falcon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
