A Flu Pandemic?

The fact that many of the initial reports of fatality happened in poor countries or among a poor populace is indicative of the danger this virus possesses. Many of the people that died had survived in subpar living condition many years. The problem existed that the initial time from onset to death was less than 72 hours in many cases. Those that survived have yet to provide a significant set of antibodies to really give hope for creating a treatment for the virus. While you may look at China and Vietnam as under developed countries, they do have very good research facilities and very talented biologists and immunologists. Simply put, the socio-economical problems of an area did not influence the mortality rate of this strain, the fact that it kills in less than 72 hours is what makes this strain so lethal.
Well if you don't mind deleting someone's meeting schedule and a handful of corporate secrets I am sure there are some nice Italian or Russian gentlemen that could get you a laptop rather inexpensively. The dark brown stains you ask...just paint.
Just to clear something up, usually they would use artificial insemenation. Instead of transporting the whole animal, they would just send some glass rods full of frozen semen.
What wasn't mentioned, is that the movie was scheduled to be released in 2001, not 2002. Like so many movies that had a theme of terrorism, or had anything to do with NY, they were pushed back or re-written. I can't speak for the quality of the movie, but it wasn't inspired by 9/11 in any way.
