If the virus mutates so that person-to-person transmission is possible, it (Rudi Responding) As I write this, I am looking at the cover story on my latest issue of National Geographic. There is a man in a hazmat suit. The title is "The Next Killer Flu...Can We Stop It?" Haven't read it yet, but I read NG along with 15 other science/nature/technology magazines cover to cover most months. NG is not usually alarmist in nature, so there certainly may be a threat here. We can add, "Getting stuck in a quarantine area" as another risk to not having a good or even serviceable suspension. On a more positive note, as a member of Immortality Institute, I was honored to get a hardback book sent to me out the blue. That I wanted to read! A promo for an Arginine drink mix, 3 were included in the mailing. "Fantastic Voyage, Live Long Enough to Live Forever" by Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman is a GREAT book. Very inspiring. I was up reading at 3 am this morning, finding it fascinating. Although I am dissapointed there is not a single reference to cryonics in the index, or so far in the text.
