May 09th, 2013 - 01:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I guess all related food products exported into the international food cycle from argentina will have to be thoroughly scrutinised and banned, under health and safety precautions then nuke argentina (twice) just to be sure,
May 09th, 2013 - 02:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0how do they know they are “camp” mice? do they listen to abba? watch friends? do they have a moustache? or is it the squeak voice?
Well they seem very friendly in the picture....
May 09th, 2013 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's a first.

Nothing amusing about hemorrhagic viruses. There is a good possibility that one will resolve the over population of this world.

@6 Surely it's right to quarantine the “area”? Nothing in, nothing out of argieland. And I mean nothing!

May 09th, 2013 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think Argentina is over populated isn't it?
Gah! As if the Argies didn't have enough problems.

May 09th, 2013 - 06:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK is a principal recipient of incomers and those in transition from risk sources of viruses - as has been demonstrated with Coronovirus.

Also increasing risk of H bird flu strains, in addition to hemorrhagic viruses.

Despite views on Spanargia. We should all fear viral particulates.
Best hope that the mice get to all of them before anyone decides to come over here.

And the imbeciles having failed to have children protected with MMR vaccine.
Nuclear weapons and war are less of a problem for humanity.
That is what has been missing. A few deadly plagues mainly affecting millions of the poor in these third world countries. That would keep them in check. Put them in their place. Who knows? A new empire afterwards.

May 09th, 2013 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Whilst there is genetic susceptability to acquiring infection. Infectious agents do not distinguish hosts on a racial basis ; )

Yeah but we have proper doctors and hospitals. We are generally more healthy being better fed and more hygenic in our habits. We just need to stay away from these horrid places whilst nature is doing its work.

To use your vernacular.....Yeah
Trunce I am joking with you. Health care over here is crap without looking at your links. I posted what I thought was a funny comment. You rightly pointed out that the subject matter should not be joked about but your continued doom and gloom comments, I am afraid, encouraged my bad behaviour further. Sorry.
May 09th, 2013 - 08:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0c'est la vie - no problem. Much amusement to be had on other threads : )
May 09th, 2013 - 08:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The world is overdue for a good old fashioned plague. My bet it comes out of filthy China.
May 09th, 2013 - 08:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those people are unsanitary.
Plague doesn't respect borders and the last doozy we didn't have air travel.
Good luck trying to contain it when it latched hold
Don't you want to role play sometimes?.... Like some of the tinkers on here.
May 09th, 2013 - 08:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Be the typical (in my case) Brit (no English) the tinkers on this website describe us as being. I like going on these Argie newspaper blogs and being a CNUT. I'll take you on. Come on the lot of you.
I get these urges....I just get these urges.
“Don't you want to role play sometimes?”
May 09th, 2013 - 08:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No & there is no team in “I”. I do at least hope you were enlightened in our exchange - whoever you choose to be.
Team? Yes OK. I just forgot (???????)
May 09th, 2013 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not nice
May 09th, 2013 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just hope they have good containment facilities. Somehow I doubt it given the other creaking infrastructure.
Usually the outbreaks of this type of virus are localised and self-limiting (certainly that is true of Ebola in Africa)
Rural areas, urban areas.......may be one pearl!
May 09th, 2013 - 10:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe São Paulo.......to live, to work, to Brasil...........beautiful
