Hey William, MRSA IS a death sentence for some. And it is not something to take lightly whatsoever. But like I responded to Corie (and therefore you) it is the many strains and strength that will knock someone out in three days.
*The Hot Zone* was a great book. Right here on our bookshelf. Ironically, shortly after reading it in around 1993, I saw an hour documentary on TV with the exact people (scientists) mentioned in the book. A TRUE BOOK that describes how close we came to annihilating ourselves with scientists bringing monkeys into the United States with the Ebola virus and how close they came to getting out of hand. And poofing us ALL out of existence. This same author (Richard Preston) wrote a more recent book called *The Demon in the Freezer* and what is described in that book COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME. At the current time (well, actually for many many years) IT is the one thing that can go around the world very quickly and kill every one of us. In just weeks. Of course the government and the scientists are keeping it a cover-up with lies but that is nothing new. About two months ago I read the book* I Am Legend* and it was very good. We have the movie but I have not seen it yet. Hubby really liked it. Some folks do not want to know these things so they just bury their heads in the sand and hope for the best. Perhaps they are the smartest! I mean ... the g'mint has control (so they think) of what experiments are allowed so our hands ARE really tied. Sad ... very sad.
