Friday, December 06, 2002The article also mentions in passing how the virus has been studied. There should be a special award for these scientific martyr/volunteers: It takes only a small dose of the virus, 100 particles or even fewer, to make a person sick, according to studies of people who volunteered to become infected by drinking a stool filtrate. One final thought about the cruise ship outbreaks that keeps nagging me, but borders on the paranoid. What if this was some sort of test-run for bioterrorists? The ships left from Seattle and southern Florida, where there are suspected terrorist cells. And it’s strange that they haven’t been able to trace the outbreaks to contaminated food or water, the usual mode of transmission. I hope the CDC’s looking into that angle. posted by Sydney on 12/06/2002 06:30:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
