I know full well that many countries, including the US, is developing bio weapons and trying to learn how to counteract them (my father is a microbiologist/virologist), but there are a number of facts that suggest that even if it was accidentally released from the W***n v******y, it was not intended as a weapon. First, every virologist that has published their results shows that this was from an animal (likely a bat), not a human engineered v***s. Secondly, while it is certainly caused world chaos and caused a world wide financial depression, it’s not a very effective bioweapon as it k**ls mostly the aged and the infirm, not young healthy soldiers. Finally, what has China to gain? A huge amount of their trade is with the US. If they hurt US purchasing of Chinese goods (consumer spending was down 9% last month, and much of that was for Chinese products), it just hurts their economy as much as ours. It MAY turn out to be an accidental release from a lab in China, but I doubt it was an engineered bio attack. Having said all that, the Chinese are clearly in an expansionistic stance, especially in the South China Sea, and they are becoming closer to the Russians, Iranians and of course, the North Koreans, so I do agree that we need to be very cognizant of the threat.

Dribs and dabs of info don't give a 'full picture'. Maybe no one actually knows! A doctor tells of someone who has recovered from C***d, but tests positive up to a month after recovery. Another story is about people who recover and don't have any immunity from another case, or have 'limited' immunity for maybe 6 months!

Perhaps it is because all of us are experiencing this for the first of many times!

Here is a link to a story in Wired Magazine about what we may have learned from China, S. Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. about letting their 'guard' down too soon.

We all need to know more about what we might have to expect in our collective futures.

A friend needed a printer, and I have a collection of Canon iP4500s. I got one from the garage - five blinks: bad print head. I brought out three more, and they all did the five blink print head signal. I swapped heads and examined the heads - nothing unusual. Very annoying. I'm sure those printers worked when I put them away. Even the one I have here, on this computer, has a bad print head. I recently bought new Canon ink ($72) for that printer, and now it doesn't work.

Do any of you know what goes wrong with print heads? There's not much to this one. It's basically a basket that holds the cartridges. I have one more printer upstairs, but I'm not hopeful.
