So far they can't even tell if this is a virus, bacteria or what.

It's not phased by ANY "antigen killer" we have in our arsenal.

It acts like the flu and just when people think they're feeling fine they can relapse and can quickly die, "drowning" in their own body fluids trying to wash the "bug" away. Scary thing!

It's been compared to EBOLA in terms of it's "contagiousness."

Yikes! not what I want to hear. I got a cold about 2weeks ago (I usaully don't get them) and I got so stuffed up a week later I had to go to the dr last week friday--so here I sit still coughing and on antibotics. It just don't want to go away. Never had anything like it before.

It sounds like the superflu or Captain Trips in The Stand by Stephen King. Pretty scary stuff.

As my sarcastic, dry witted Conservative friend, Rick has said, "Oh! What a good way of solving that overpopulation problem, huh?"

But seriously, that is really scary. I hope they get to the bottom of it soon and get a cure!
