Ah, that's obvious now I read it again. Tim Send a noteboard - 17/08/2011 06:52:57 PM
I was drawing an analogue to FMD because the sort of issues we're having with FMD today are similar to the issues they were having with Rinderpest in Europe then. I was just trying to explain it so people understood how much of an impact it had :)


Missed the word "as". :<img class=' />

I'm not sure we'll ever get rid of FMD. It's just SO contagious. There's one documented case where the ONLY explanation is that it crossed the English Channel on air currents. Obviously they can't prove it, but every other avenue has been DISproven. It is, quite literally, THE most contagious disease in the world.


Did they discount something coming through the Channel Tunnel (assuming it existed then)?

If Rinderpest = Foot & Mouth, it most certainly wasn't gone from the First World years ago. Tim - 17/08/2011 05:51:41 PM 753 Views
