Yeah Thunderbear, I think you understand what I was talking about, I was sort of afraid people would just think I was nutty.

I still think they wanted to research how people would react to a super-bug and gauge how quickly a virus would be able to spread. It started in Mexico, right? That's a perfect place to start something like that because it's a good "launch spot", lots of vacationers from all over the world. It seems rather calculated to me -- start out slow, let the panic build as the virus spreads, hints from CDC and WHO that this could be bad -- then suddenly they start calming people down, and say it's not that bad after all, continue on with your normal lives. Like perhaps they got all the research data they needed?? I can't help it, I really don't trust our government at all, especially after Bush/Cheney.
