"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

For The Birds: CNN is all breathless about the discovery of a dead crow with West Nile virus on the White House Lawn. Is it a terrorist plot? Naw. West Nile virus is already known to be established in Washington, D.C. You can probably find a lot of dead birds there who test positive for it. I’m surprised they’re still testing them for it. Usually once a region’s health department knows it’s established in the bird population, they stop testing all the dead birds, and just adopt a mosquito-spraying policy to minimize the risk that people will get it. But then again, Washington D.C. isn’t like most other places. posted by Sydney on
