It's incredible, that our scientist haven't got any brain, when it comes to think before doing things.

This man made flu virus could be a real hanger, might make the sick bedridden for weeks. Could be useful in a war.

Maybe they wanted to create this flu so they could find a cure for it.

Oh I just read the news item, this flu could wipe out millions!

That's way I wrote, that they got no brain. It seems like they haven't been thinking about the circumstances on their "sciences" on this virus.

The scientists pushing for publication are probably the one's who hope to gain fame from their 'work'; it it is released, look for the usual suspects to try and weaponize the virus...

On a lighter note, does Dowly know about this?:

Why? Why create something like this? In my opinion, a biological frankienstein like that, as far worse then an atomic bomb in this day and age considering how far and fast people can travel.

And December 2012 draws closer.

I can see the conversation now.......
"Hey! Let's make a deadlier flu!"
"Yea! What could go wrong?"
