That lovely, apparently airborne pneumonia has now cropped up in [url=http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/international/AP-Germany-Asia-Pneumonia.html?ex=1048482000&en=dfa9eb7b81f00217&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND]Germany[/url], having previously turned up in Canada. It originally appeared in Asia, where it has spread widely.
What took me a minute to figure out about this report, however, is that the man undergoing treatment in Germany was on a flight TO Singapore FROM [b]New York[/b]. In other words, he was here, in the U.S., and in all likelihood has transmitted the pneumonia to someone here. It will take a few days for it to turn up, but get ready, because it’s coming.
While only about 9 people have died worldwide from this pneumonia so far, no one has recovered yet. Oh joy.
