I did a little research and I have concluded you are 100% correct with your hypothosis on this issue! Good Job in unlocking what the CDC has been unable to do!!!
Here is what my research turned up on the Bird Flu scare we had awhile back!
I thought it was goingto be a picture of Obama since it was one of his aides on his recent trip to Mexico that got it and spread it to his family whose child is in our local school system (Anne Arundel County, MD).
When I saw the picture I was eating sausage
I had to stop to think if I was eating someones pet; or the way the thread is going -wife
Decided NO--- the sausage tastes to good
