[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1249851, member: 18945"] World Health Organization has released guidelines for the future naming of new diseases. Names like German Measles, Legionaire's Disease, Swine flu, bird flu, or even names denoting where the disease began, like Ebola (first discovered in the Ebola River Basin) are derogatory and cause financial, economic and human embarrassment to the people of those regions and to the people who raise those animals and I guess the primates are gwtting their wittle feelings hurt when they hear things like Monkey Flu. Nor can they be named after people, like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,or Chagas disease. Some people need to chug on over to mamby pamy land get themselves a dose of self confidence.... [url=http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/notes/2015/naming-new-diseases/en/]http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/not ... seases/en/[/url] Lord, please save us from our own stupidity. [/QUOTE]
