my short stay in hospital a while ago. I asked for an extra spoon, the nurse said :sure, proceeded to take a used one, put it under the tap and handed the thing to me. My gosh! I said, Am i not supposed to get a sterilysed one, or at least one washed with soap/desinfectant? I added She looked at me as if i just landed from the moon This does not go to blame the whole health apparatus, but it makes me wonder

Good for you, David. Tell it lie it is

Colloidal silver stops this bug dead in its tracks, is 100% safe (NO undesirable side effects), 100% effective, and CHEAP. But the Merchants of Death would far rather that we all died, before they would allow us to have anything that was not a prescription drug.

Panic may have escalated, but what will happen now? Hopefully, Israel will get this situation under control immediately. With the state of affairs in the world upside down, particularly in the Middle East, you have to wonder if there are more sinister reasons lurking.......................

I think this is truely a serious issue that can lead to an outbreak that has the capability to kill hundreds more. But there are many religious people who think events such as these are brought down on the people they disagree with. It isn't uncommon here in the states for someone like Falwell or Baker to say this is a sign from god for these people to change their ways. While I personally think the entire realm of religion is for the weak minded, I refuse to judge others for their beliefs. If these posters think their god is responsible for this outbreak in Israel, then they have that right. It is called Freedom of Religion. And while I don't agree with them, they have that freedom.

ummm... 120-200 is way more than dozens.

There's a simular thing going on in Canada. Both Canada & Israel have leaders who like to sabrerattle. Vancouver Island and most of the West Coast was supposed to have a Magnitude 9.0 earthquake recently. They have the most mercy on the less fortunate of all North America. Could G*d be telling us something? Some people said He had plenty to say with the New Orleans disaster. (A place seriously not noted for addressing social injustice, BTW.)

Hmmm, is this a new "self defense" weapon for use against the "terrorists" in Palestine? Inquiring minds would like to know. Many of us in the US are onto what Israel's gov't is all about; we are thinking for ourselves now. We know our soldiers are dying for Israel's security, and for the oil pipeline which comes through Iraq and ends at Haifa. It is past time that Israelis fend for themselves without bleeding America and Great Britain dry!!

For those of you who think this is G-d's wrath grow up! For those of you like Kevin who think Israel invented this bug or some such nonsense you should know it's been seen in the USA and the UK for almost 10 years already. Perhaps you people should learn something I learned in Kindergarten, when I don't know what I am talking about it's better to shut up and listen to those who do.Kevin, Jane, and those with similar ideas and ideology...pull your heads out from your backsides, clean out your ears and listen. You might just learn something, rather than polluting us with your blather

was bugs the curse of the Jews or was it thier guarding angel? Pharo chased Jews- who were infested with bugs, out of egypt.
