It seems that produce a deep imairement on the immune system and allows viruses to pass from animals to man. More than one billion years ago, it seems there was only one area with that peculiarity. Then a big continent broke and there was two such domains. 200 millions years ago the Pangea supercontinent broke and cut one of the two zone in two more pieces. So, now we have 3 low selenium domains: China, Congo in Africa and the Amazon in South America. When SARS will hit Congo and Amazon, it will encounter poor people with poor health and a strong selenium deficit. A new for more active of the illness could be produced here. This virus could too recombine with unknown local viruses and produce some new conditions. We have so 3 "military grade" bio-labs on Earth making anything out of control and nobody bother. Some selenium pills would close these "crazy-labs".... Surely they are more noxious than some gas drums in a far away potential oil state, but who'll take the job? Y.
