A large proportion of the global population is in this region, and beyond that there is a diversity of animals that are thought to be important in the generation of these pandemic viruses.

Andy Price

American tax dollars and other international humanitarian aid have been based on inflated population numbers which have been accepted without question by governments and aid agencies.

This population is more alike than any population in the United States.

Ambrose Bierce

The more these viruses interact with the human population, the more likely it is that it could adopt this type of mutation.

James Stevens

Bill Baker

That's just not justified. That's a high-risk population in those hospital beds. We know many of them haven't been vaccinated, and when they go home, it doesn't happen. The goal is to vaccinate them while they're there so we don't miss the opportunity.

Dale Bratzler

He felt like the population was 'high' and that the belief is not in line with communism.

Jiang Hu

Population growth is not respecting water-management-district boundaries.

Cheryl Campbell

We certainly don't have the notoriety here, as say, Yamhill County. They're so much closer to Portland, so they have a much larger population to draw on.

Charlie Gilson

I wouldn't say everybody gambles. Probably a large number of the population does. When you are talking about millions of dollars, that's when it becomes a big deal. Fifty bucks here and there is not that bad, but when you have big money and when police get involved, it's serious. The police just don't get involved for nothing, for no reason.

Sean Brown

You combine the Interstate 35 corridor, ... and now you're looking at a population that has the spending power.

Char Miller

Hong Kong and southern China are in an area where everything comes together. It's like the perfect storm -- animals, the virus, population density.

As far as protection of rural areas and protection of the population in the villages is concerned, perhaps it has never been so bad since 2003.

Gemmo Lodesani

Our goal is to alert 100 percent of the population.

Tina Merlitti

Don Kelly

This is the first time that a recent and alarming decline of a great ape population -- brought about by man -- has been demonstrated, dated, and quantified using genetic information.

Native Americans have a lot more cardiovascular disease than the population in general, but what we don't know is how much of their increased risk is due to their genetic background and how that background is modified by Western lifestyles and environmental factors.

Kristin Newby

Cheryl Johnson

If you have a population of residents, the businesses will find their way there.

Dick Skrinjar

Devin Brown
