You wouldn't call one cow an outbreak? No I would not. "Outbreak" implies a sudden increase in disease. Just as a report of one person getting the flu in a city is not considered an outbreak, a report of one cow getting a disease is also not an outbreak. -- "Its the bugs that keep it running." -Joe Canuck |

Dec 2003: "Outbreak" implies a sudden increase in disease. Just as a report of one person getting the flu in a city is not considered an outbreak, a report of one cow getting a disease is also not an outbreak. So this is an isolated incident. Is that it? For real, how many "isolated incidents" involving a serious condition involving food sources happen? Is this a freak? Was the first cow with BSE in the UK an isolated incident? When did they find out it was not? How *long* did it take before it was decided it wasn't an isolated incident? Is our government scared this will escalate beyond an isolated incident? I would bet they are. This isn't the flu. You people can say how low a risk it is just because it has only affected so much of a percent of human life but if the FDA bans a diet aid for causing only a couple of hundred deaths, what do they do about the possiblity of a tainted food supply? Who cares about one company that produces a diet aid. **** with the livelyhoods of American agriculture and exported goods, well it will just have to excalate further before it is taken seriously. Heh. You people crack me up. The "who cares" attitude is what makes these things escalate. You keep trusting in FDA and USDA testing and whatever they say. The rest of us will keep making noise. -- Cheryl "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.
