#1 If they can't handle a little TB outbreak in an isolated area, what are they going to do if the Bird Flu goes pandemic? I suspect, though, that the situation is not nearly so exciting as the politicians are making out.

This does compare rather ironically to the current mumps outbreak spreading from Iowa and Nebraska by college kids flying about the countryside on Spring Break... completely ignoring the two week, symptom free, incubation period. I haven't been paying attention though: was there perhaps a mandatory inoculation of the student bodies in the affected schools?

#2 Meanwhile, in other news France is offerring to pay illegals to go back to their nations of origin, reportedly equiv. of US$2400 per adult and US$600-800 per minor child. NOT WORKING THOUGH, so Paris wants to modify the prog so that it'll be easier for illegals to participate.
