Strangewings, I definitely agree. I'm just advising caution, and not having a cavalier attitude about new viruses.

I though the main concern with this virus is that it was killing young people due to an immune system overreaction to a new microorganism. I didn't realize it was all secondary infection.

Antibiotics do nothing to cure or even alleviate the flu. Influenza is a virus, and antibiotics are useful only against bacteria. No source needed.. this is common knowledge. We do have anti-viral medications, however viruses are exceptionally fast at mutating and developing resistance, so I...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents because I can understand where you are coming from, and I think you are justified in being cautious. First of all, I quit my job in January, even in the midst of a bad economic situation and layoffs, because I absolutely couldn't stand it anymore. I found a...

Aww! Cute, and looks like he has a tad of personality, not exactly a shy kitty!

Wow, Tess is gorgeous!

Willowy, that definitely sounds plausible. Bilo hasn't shown any signs of illness over the last 2 days, and I haven't seen him licking his bum. He's generally being a little brat and acting like Bilo (begging for food, asking to go in the hall, etc). I've been keeping a close eye on him and...

He is acting normally today, but I do think it's a sign of some kind of problem in its beginning stages. Unfortunately I don't know about his litter box habits, because the litter box is in the back hall with a cat door on it, and when I open the door to follow him he leaves the room, or I'll...

Bilo came in today from the hallway with his butt and back of his legs all wet. I tried to check him out but he squirmed, and I couldn't immediately see any cuts or anything bothering him. It seemed like the wet part was almost a little oily, so I thought he may have sat in something and I...

Woops I just saw your post. Yes I've played MassEffect but I didn't end up finishing it. It's a really well-made game and there's a lot to it, but I kind of suck at shooters and honestly some of the parts with the rover were too hard for me. I didn't realize you could play it turn-based...

Hmm.. I'm thinking Nala, she has a lioness look to her

Edit: Just realized the post was titled "DIGITAL" cameras.. sorry. This info is about a film camera. 1. Is your camera for professional use or hobby? Hobby 2. What types of photographs do you take? (home use, landscapes, macros, etc.) Mostly outdoor pictures of birds or landscapes 3. What...

Aw Squid is a cutie, and I love the name Squid

O my, Ollie is adorable and is going to grow up to be a very handsome cat. Great job getting him to a healthy weight!

OK thank you guys for your answers. I think to avoid the problem, I will just keep my door closed and not let him come in. That way I don't have to worry about making him sicker. He seems better recently and is putting on some weight again.
