#1 Is it just me, or does it seem like China is a breeding ground for communicable diseases?

Can we expect a zombie virus to come out of there soon?

#2 Nah.. I think the Zombie Virus will come out of North Korea - where brains would be about the only things left to eat.....

#3 Qinghai - middle of freaking nowhere. Like Wyoming, only without the charm. Yes, lots of diseases come from China because Dickensian-style poverty means that people spend an inordinate amount of time with their animals. The lure of indolence is strong to peasants, and the dream is to have enough stock so that one does not have to work.
