Go to Post Designing for failure tends to encourage failure. Worrying about failure analysis during the competition can become a self fulfilling prophesy. Break your pots in the fall and learn how to keep them from breaking. - Mike Betts [more]

If it was genetically engineered it would have killed a lot more people by now. No (wacky) geneticist would go to the trouble to create a virus that only has hit minute proportion of the world. And remember, viruses are known to mutate after a set number of years. It is a historical pattern that has existed for almost to the beginning of life on Earth. Why do continually get the cold every year. Cold viruses have an extremely high mutation rate allowing for continual infection of the same organism. And look at the Spanish Flu. It came out during WWII and there was nothing that was man-made about it. It came it disappeared without a trace and no cure was created. So don't go paranoid. The amount of money it costs for genetically modifying whatever is expensive. There will probably still be a lot more infections but please don't call it a terrorist attack. History shows that every so often, there are large population kills that reduce species in order to control the population from going over a necessary food supply or environment. It's part of the history on this Earth and we are a part of it.
