bbc mutation of cold virus





ok Fewer have died so far than die in France in a week on the roads, and we do not stop going to France for a motoring holiday, however there is something very alarming about a bug one cannot see and not know if one has caught for some 10 days (OK better than AIDS were it can be 6 months plus).

There have already been significant Global cancellation of conferences and travel. WHO is worried may now be endemic in China (i.e. got away into the population at large) and hence it may not be possible to contain it. HSBC are downgrading Far East GDP already as a result.

This could be a bigger problem for the world economy (imo) than either the bursting of the bubble, BenLardin, or even the 21 day war.

Any thoughts -

Lots of Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh. Why would anyone want to go north of Hendon anyway? It's a foreign country up there you know.
