Good to hear... I am hoping, of course obviously its not the biggest story out there right now...

Maybe it bugs me since i am getting over a cold right now and I live in TX lol... Not a good combo for an anxious person, but what do you do...

Haha. Yeah, you just have to worry about those superbugs. Look 'em up... ex: MSRA. Basically, at some point some previously treatable disease could morph into an antibiotic-resistant form. The bubonic plague, part 2... the greatest comeback since Jesus.

Eh, sure some disease will inevitably become resistant to any contemporary form of treatment but we'll come up with a cure very, very fast. This strain of the virus isn't even very deadly compared to past pandemics, it has a less than 2% mortality rate, which is probably inflated because of the mass hysteria surrounding it. The one thing I'd worry about is there being a second wave developed in another animal.
