April 27th, 2009 3:54 pm ET It is interesting to know that the risk of infection it isn't source of the consumption of meat, but especially the handling of fresh meat, because the virus can be transmitted through small cuts in the skin. It is interesting how we are all so interconnected, so globalized! |

April 27th, 2009 6:47 pm ET Nowadays to travel from one part of the world to the other in matter of hours is definitely much easier; and it is not only people that are in motion, animals and food products travel too so the possibility for diseases such as the Swine Flu to spread to places located far apart is much greater. |

April 27th, 2009 7:21 pm ET Its scary to think that a new disease from bush meat in Africa could be in NYC within 48 hours. And if its there just think how many other places it would have spread to just from people being in contact with whoever had it on the plane. Our most formidable enemy may be the microbe we cannot see. |

April 27th, 2009 11:52 pm ET Why don't we package America better? Times of social need show that we all want the same things, yet we don't create the systems we want by making them work the way we want. Simple example here; GVFI.org –> why dont we have an identiy system that would enable us to participate in real-time data tracking for productive purposes? Fear of each other. Our system breeds fear of each other. Why do we permit that? We should support projects like GVFI.org - we should support the manufacturing of medicines that lack the type of profit models that secure private investment and development. There are countless things we should do... but don't. Why? Freedom is an illusion... security is not to be had on a rock flying through unknown space. Synergistic planning is all we have. Conscious evolution is possible. Every asset must be mapped... the work is long and abundant, and time is fleeting. Humanity! Step up. |
