The Mystery Virus: A Guide to Origins, Symptoms and Precautions You Can Take (washingtonpost.com)

Good FAQ. I’m starting to worry just a bit about this. Must be the parent in me. Normally, I ignore stuff like this since I rarely get sick. Since Jack seems to get sick at the drop of a hat, that’s probably why I worry at all.

I have a friend from grad school who lives in the Guangdong province where this all started. He and his family are fine. I hope they stay that way.

Could it be that this “global warming” is nothing more than a natural process? I’m quite willing to believe this but I also maintain that we should still do what we can to reduce greenhouse emissions.
