Diseases

[close] I've been interested in saving the world from day one. So when i found out my grandmother had Diabetes Type 1, I wanted to cure that, too. As an English Major, I didn't know what I could do to help the cause. However, here on goodreads, I can meet and discuss books with other like-minded people and review for the cure!

[close] You've heard of Swine Flu. You've heard of bat flu. But then, a bat, infected with bat flu, was eating a grape, and it fell into a pen that held swine, one of which was infected with swine flu. The infected pig ate the grape, and contracted the bat flu. Then the pig was shipped to a slaughter house and was turned into food. Someone shook hands with the chef that had prepared the infected meat and then she came home, infecting everyone she came into contact with. Pretty soon an epidemic broke out. But now, a new disease, one even more deadly and more serious than the swine/bat flu virus.
