Take from this what you will...World Health

Instead of fear mongering they could be teaching about Vitamin C and MMS

...and vitamin D...and the immuno-suppressant effects of refined carbohydrates and sugars...and the liver damage caused by a high fructose diet....

I subscribe to the WHO newsletter, have for years and they have frequently warned about the misuse of sugar, the politics of sugar, various foods and supplements that boost immune systems and other very healthy NATURAL ways to live. Way back in the 90's they were talking about using vitamin D for immunity to flu. I would never accuse WHO of fear mongering. They've taken on big business, politics and even religion when they called the pope out on condemning condom use in AIDs riddled nations. These people are in no one's pocket.

Now this is overkill, wouldn't our kids like to live in Japan right now? They've got 193 comfirmed cases of SF and they have closed 4400 schools!

Yup overkill

but masses of people in a confined area require different tactics.

what happens for me in a "low" population area would not work for a massive population area---and massive it sure is!!!!

close the schools for week....hmm...might help, might not but they are trying something? I guess

Two weeks would be more effective....incubation periods and all.

In Japan, I don't think it would be overkill. Here, it would.
