BIRD FLU VIRUS relating to mongering
Bird Flu Virus,
I recall when SARS hit the world, people were afraid of going out and traveling. All tourists industry ( hotels, airlines) were hit hard, especially in China and South East Asia. China at first tried to cover it up. I remember airline tickets were ONLY about $250-275USD ROUND TRIP from USA but nobody wanted to go. Very Cheap price.
I recall there was a 70-80% change you will die if you caught it. It was very contagious and BAD odds. I don't know the numbers for Bird Flu but I would guess it's a lot less than 70 to 80%.. It's not as bad are SARS but it could mutate to a killer virus like SARS. SARS mutated from civet cats to humans. Currently, they are mainly concerned about wild birds getting the virus and spreading it to domestic birds.
I was NOT in China at the time but was told and read prices really dropped considerably for girls. I was a little surprised when I was told by another monger. A lot of girls were desperate since they still need to make a living. There were less girls but they still could be found. Most Johns were not as desperate to risk their lives. If the situation gets as worst for the Bird Flu Virus, I would assume again, prices would drop. Hopefully a vaccine is found soon.
For years, borders in Hong Kong, China and Singapore, were taking scans for temperature. Do we need to start getting thermometer for the girls as another form of protection, HA, HA ?
