5/15 How many people find it ironic that during the Dark Ages the primitive
white barbarians were dying of the plague while the advanced Asian
culture thrived on drinking only cooked water (tea), eating only cooked
vegetables, taking shoes off before going to the house (hence not
bringing in germs/bacteria from the farm)... and now that same culture
is breeding SARS?
\_ there are plenty of shithole slums throughout the world, and not
all of them originate new weirdass diseases. as some news
reports have mentioned, it's thought that SARS is a result of a
cantonese tradition of eating exotic foods, in particular,
animals. moral: don't go around digging up diseases no one's
ever been exposed to before.
\_ I don't think SARS has anything to do with cultural / technical
inferiority of China. Granted, that it is still a mystry why
SARS and many of common cold / influenza originated near
Guangdong area every year. Bio nerds, please enlighten us.
\_ So your express your ill formed opinion, deny the obvious from
the OP, then ask for advice from the bio people? Go re-read the
OP and you'll find the enlightenment you seek. -!op
\_ Cause that part of the world will be what it has always been -
a feudal third world shithole? |
