There appears to be three different virus writing gangs turning out new worms at an alarming rate -- as if they would be competing who would build the biggest network of infected machines.

Mikko Hypponen

Someone gets vaccinated and a short time later they get a different virus and they tend to associate that illness with their prior vaccination. They confuse the other viral infection with the flu.

Brian Currie

It's real estate to (virus writers), and it's really valuable real estate.

Alfred Huger

We've never had an event of this magnitude happen before. We're taking a look at development and testing procedures around virus signatures to prevent it from happening again.

Joe Telafici

Right now the suspicion is a reasonable one. The examinations we've conducted point to the presence of the virus. We haven't yet isolated it.

Shimon Pokomonsky

These deaths are an unfortunate reminder that West Nile virus can be a serious health threat, although death is extremely rare.

David Mckeown

You talk to a Windows user about the dangers of clicking on the wrong attachments, and they know you're talking about a virus. But there's something about the Mac community.... They don't want to admit when something bad is threatening them.

Craig Schmugar

The current report only raises a hypothesis that the bats might be the source of the virus.

Liu Qi

At the end of the day, the IT administrator does not care if it is spam or a virus. All they care is there is bad stuff coming off the Internet... and they want one vendor to protect them.

Steve Munford

It's clear that the virus is well-established in the region.

Dr. Guenael Rodier

The problem in China is about 50-60 percent of the poultry is operated on small-scale farms in the backyard, which provides the ideal life for the virus to jump between different species of poultry.

Dr. Noureddin Mona

We've had about nine days off and we have a virus going around on the team, so some of our starters are a little sick. We were forced to move them in and out. We were a little sloppy, but when we had to turn it up, we did.

Jeff Newhall

There was a mismatch of supply and demand in China before the SARS virus.

Jeff Bray

West Nile Virus is here to stay. It's not something to be afraid of, but something to be concerned with.

Aaron Devencenzi

This means out of every 100 birds in wet markets, one is positive and infected with the virus. They look healthy but they can infect others and they can kill people.

Guan Yi

However, our experience shows that once proof-of-concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code and adapt it for their own use.

Kaspersky Lab

The virus has been around for more than a dozen years, but it hasn't jumped into the human population. I don't think it has the capability of doing it.

Peter Palese

It is with great sadness that I have to leave the cast of 'High Society' as I am suffering from Epstein Barr Virus (Glandular Fever) which I first fell ill with last year.

Jerry Hall

Bird flu could drive the slender-billed curlew to extinction -- there are very few specimens left and the virus could just be enough to push it over the edge.

Ward Hagemeijer

Any selective pressure on this virus ensures plenty of opportunity for H5N1 to acquire amantadine resistance, which would bring additional difficulties in controlling the pandemic.

Robert Webster

Previously Apple's operating system, Mac OS X, was untargeted by virus writers, but two worms aimed at the OS changed all that. Apple had been bragging about its security record pretty loudly and now has to eat its words.

Andy Walker

It has been known from Asia for some time that cats can infect themselves with the virus if they eat infected birds.

Thomas Mettenleiter

The situation is that the virus is there, and it will probably continue to circulate among the birds. It will spread through close contact, irrespective of species. There is one big question mark: Will the virus disappear from wild birds after a period of six months, or will it still be present after a period of six years?

Bob Mccracken

This worm is over a year old, so anyone that's updated their virus protections in the last year will be protected.

Graham Cluley

The company has taken extraordinary measures to minimize the effect of the virus on our guests, which was limited the number of affected guests and crew on the current sailing. Our commitment is to ensuring the comfort and safety of Amsterdam guests.

Daryn Kagan

Once you get the plasmids inside the cell, the virus assembles itself.

Terrence Tumpey

If the general public had a better awareness of what's a bacteria and what's a virus, they would be more willing to let it run its course, and not get an antibiotic.

Ann Falsey

The virus would hit this mutant cell and cause a second mutation, prompting the onset of cancers like leukemia or brain tumors.

Dr Richard Mcnally

In the past, we have seen more cases reported to us in September, and that's why it's important to tell people that the risk for West Nile virus is still here.

Michael Finkelstein

They think it's caused by a virus. That can happen even if they have no symptoms, never seem sick. Her body attacked the virus, as it should. But then it went berserk. It turns on itself.

Jacqueline Roberts

They say that the H5N1 virus is deadly because it killed 68 people. But what they aren't telling you is that there are hundreds and even thousands of people that have gotten infected and haven't shown any signs. It's only a small amount of people that get sick. It's not as lethal as everybody thinks it is.

Joseph Giambrone

In order to stop the further transmission of the measles virus, the ministry of health will undertake two phases of an emergency vaccination campaign targeting all children between nine months and five years in the whole country.

James Nyikal

This virus is deadly to some birds, but not all birds, so some birds can carry it and appear healthy. What do people need to know, number one, is there's no reason for panic.

John Farrell

There's a great deal more virus in the shingles vaccine that in the children's vaccine, and that's because children are not immune at all.

Michael Oxman

More than 100,000 mail servers in Europe have been taken down or stuck out by the virus. And the servers with anti-virus programs have huge problems. Millions of people are trying to get the latest anti-virus programs.

Stein Mollerhaug

The experimental data is not very strong that pigeons are going to be spreading this virus around. At this point they have not been implicated in spreading it to humans and to farms.

David Swayne

Last year the virus affected 62 towns in 10 Russian regions, while since the start of 2006, already 56 towns in nine regions have been affected.

Sergei Dankvert

It can be done. The only question is will this nasty virus give us the time.

Alejandro Thiermann

The dollars need to follow the virus.

David Bryan

Preventive vaccines have ended or helped control the most deadly infectious diseases known to man. Finding a vaccine to stop the spread of the HIV virus must be a global priority.

Seth Berkley

I have no concern about that whatsoever. Given the nature of this virus, I don't think this will be an issue by the time we start the spring meet in April.

Lou Raffetto

I accept death, personally I accept death. But the virus, just knowing I'm going to die from the virus -- it messes with me.

Ralph Johnson

Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious.

Wangari Maathai

We have to understand that all of Africa is infected. The spread of the virus is wider than we can see from newspapers.

Nikolai Vlasov

While the U.K. has made great strides in this area, the police simply do not have the resources to cope with the level of electronic crime. The onus is on businesses to secure their own futures with a multi layered approach to protect systems from the latest virus and security threats.

Tom Newton

This is their way to stop the virus' outreach.

Kristine Mcgrath

Why are the numbers so high today? IM is really growing in terms of use. Because of the popularity, it's a more attractive target to hackers and virus writers. The specific number of threats is not huge, but it's much more than the year before. So the percentage ends up being quite large.

Art Gilliland

Virus writers are always looking for new tricks to entice innocent computer users into running their malicious code. This latest ploy feeds on people's desire for the latest news.

Carole Theriault

In this cluster of three confirmed cases of West Nile virus infection, with the possibility that there'll be a fourth, there's clear evidence that organ transplantation appears to be the source.

James Hughes

The virus can change its face, but what we can see with this complicated structure is the precise mechanisms -- the way it puts on its disguises.

Peter Kwong

Unless they consider themselves very savvy, Mac users should run anti-virus software just like Windows users. Mac users need to start developing a sense of cynicism about content that comes unsolicited, even if it appears to come from a user they know.

Larry Seltzer

The concentrations of antibodies to the virus were twice as high in the bloodstreams of the young girls.

Gary Dubin

The first round today is critically, critically important not just for Indonesia, but for the entire region. This is an effort to stop polio virus here but also to stop it breaking out causing a regional infection.

Claire Hajaj

The virus is clearly not highly contagious among mammals, and I don't think it's going to become so.

Paul Offit

There's a lot of discussion about the benefits of vaccinating schoolchildren to eliminate circulation of the flu virus. It's definitely a consideration.

Niranjan Bhat

It will have been processed. Cooking will kill the virus, if there is any virus, in poultry meat.

Richard Raymond

We know the virus is changing. We're watching little mutations occur all the time -- that's what flu viruses do.

Dr. Julie Gerberding

The Mytob worms have made a significant impact on the virus outbreak charts this year, so anything which may prevent future variants from being developed and released must be welcomed.

Graham Cluley

We've never seen a virus of this type that has the capabilities, the sophistication and the potential to do such widespread damage so quickly across computer networks.

Peter Watkins

Breeding birds pass their harmless strains to each other and the virus mutates.

Laurie Garrett

The virus is going to spread in our own native birds and that's the challenge ahead of us.

Bob Mccracken

There is not a smoking gun. What we're seeing is that all the individual genes contribute, but there is no single gene in there that is sufficient to make that virus a killer.

John Treanor

From the moment the hypothesis of the role of migratory birds in carrying the virus great distances was evoked ... we were able to foresee in a way what is happening now.

Didier Houssin

Since we don't have a good correlation between the presence of the virus and active human infection, hunting seasons probably wouldn't be effected at all.

Mark Drew

This virus keeps extending its range, ... It is out there spreading like crazy among the wild birds of Asia.

Robert Webster

A lot of fowl died around the neighborhood where they lived. But we don't know yet whether these fowl were carrying the virus. We sent a team there to investigate this morning.

Hariadi Wibisono

It's about proving the virus community can't be stopped by anti-virus companies.

John Pironti

Some people in those counties really appreciated our messages and we have been receiving numerous calls to return on a similar campaign. Most of them said they had not seen victims of the virus before and had been in a state of total disbelief.

Saa Howard

We have very good surveillance here so it can be contained, even if we are repeatedly 'invaded' by the virus.

Alex Thiermann

This is a newly emerging pathogen in the dog population. We have been able to accumulate a lot of information on this canine virus in a short period of time.

Cynda Crawford

We still have a long way to go ... I hope the virus will give us that time.

Frederick Hayden

There would be no indication at all that we have the virus in commercial poultry and therefore no substantive basis to impose trade restrictions on poultry and poultry products from the United States.

Ron Dehaven

We will probably learn a lot about bird migration by discovering where the H5N1 virus crops up.

John Oxford

Polio is not only an issue in Indonesia ... but it's an international issue. That virus, just as it came here from the African continent, could now go from here to a neighboring country and become implanted in that country if protection rates for polio were low.

C. David Heymann

We saw [Smash] a few weeks ago and have had protection from it for a while. But what started happening is a couple of the minor anti-virus players in Europe made a fuss about it, even though it's not in the wild. And now it's gotten to the point where we are getting calls from our clients and they were asking what's going on.

Simon Perry

This Sober generated close to a 1,500 percent increase in virus-infected e-mail traffic in the past week.

Scott Petry

We generated the portion that we think was important for immunity. We never manipulated the actual H5N1 virus ourselves, so it is safe to generate this kind of vaccine.

Dr Andrea Gambotto

Hours count. If you don't act within 48 hours, the virus can spread and the costs multiply by thousands.

Bernard Vallat

I think the firewalls are in place to keep that virus from getting into this country other than the migratory flyways.

Richard Raymond

We have a first case of bird flu. It's H5. The virus type has to be confirmed in the (European Union) reference lab.

Cathy Maret

It has been known for awhile from Asia that cats can become infected with the virus when they are eating infected birds.

Thomas Mettenleiter

With the introduction of the new Intel-based products it's important for companies to use the same version of Sophos Anti-Virus regardless of the type of Macs being used. Through its latest software for Mac OS X, Sophos continues to offer the highest level of virus protection to all Mac users.

Brett Myroff

It brought a chill down my spine because I knew that I had this deadly virus. I didn't have the whole thing, but I knew I had parts of it.

Terrence Tumpey

Anti-virus software does nothing to stop a worm.

Christopher Klaus

We've never seen a virus spread so quickly.

Sal Viveros

Although there has been very little rain so far this winter, mosquito prevention remains the key to preventing West Nile virus. By controlling mosquitoes now, we can reduce their populations in spring and summer.

Gary Erbeck

Initially, wild birds are primarily victims. Someday they may become vectors. We don't know how that will play out. What I would like to see is the virus stopped before it gets to America so we don't see the last reel of this film played out in North America.

Hon Ip

A lot of horses have become resistant to the virus and the owners have improved their vaccinating habits.

David Gaines

Firstly we can confirm it is actually possible to vaccinate humans against this bird flu virus using existing technology.

Terry Nolan

The virus is here and it's going to stay.

Lyle Petersen

Such storage of virus strains resemble duplicating machines in that we can quickly copy and update any prevailing flu virus on the basis of those established arenas.

Wang Xiaofang

Everything has to be done to find out exactly where the virus came from, since it would be a big surprise to find it in South America.

Joseph Domenech

We have taken this initiative to guarantee our country from the risk of the spread of the H5N1 virus, because we cannot rule out that this might happen.

Francesco Storace

We suspect that people are probably coming on board with the virus. On a cruise ship, people are out and about in very public areas, and so we have this depositing of the virus on various surfaces that then would be easily picked up by others.

Dave Forney

You can do real work while your virus checker is running in the background.

Leslie Fiering

The complete sequence of the 1918 virus, demonstrating its avian origin, and focusing on those mutations that differentiate avian from human strains will be immensely helpful as we try to understand the factors that govern the epidemic behavior of the current crop of avian H5 viruses.

John Treanor

We will continue to follow up directly with people who may have been exposed to the virus.

Harry Hull

Small business owners know that their most critical asset is their information, yet it is stored on computers that can crash and are susceptible to viruses, power outages and theft. Backup systems won't protect data if a virus causes a network/computer crash before the data is backed up at the end of the day. This is why continuous protection is important.

Anna Yen

[Although some IM attacks are becoming more innovative, most worms of this type are] kind of crude to date, ... but crude is working very effectively. Unfortunately, the one thing I've learned in this business is that [virus writers] will innovate.

Francis Costello

We have been expecting this and are prepared. We have further tightened our rules to make sure that the virus is kept out of our poultry sheds.

Jan Pedersen

The number one reason is fear. It's the fear of being found HIV-positive and the fear of dying. If you don't go to the doctor, you don't get the bad news. People living with the virus are not respected and are often feared. There's also the fear of treatment. They've heard some of the horror stories.

Sharon Murphy

We know that bird flu is a very dangerous disease. The virus mutates easily ... and moves very quickly across national boundaries.

Yuri Thamrin

For such eggs, if they are kept in cold, dry storage for half to one month, they may still be used, because that would kill the virus. Or you wash the egg.

Guan Yi

There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to say the least... Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.

William S. Cohen

The more it spreads in birds internationally, the more opportunities it has to interact with animal and human hosts, increasing the chances it could evolve into a human pandemic virus. No one knows if this will happen, or when, so it is critical to prepare for a potential human flu pandemic at the same time that we are working to prevent the spread of avian flu in birds.

Carissa Etienne

I will not rest until there is awareness, education, testing, understanding, and tolerance for the 5 million Amercians with the HEPATITIS C VIRUS!

Kathie Bryson

There are literally hundreds of viruses that can cause these types of outbreaks. It is still likely that we will not identify exactly which virus caused this outbreak.

Allison Mcgeer

Government planning is random, and it is using the wrong vaccine to combat the virus.

Talaat Khatib

Essentially we have been going house to house talking with them about the risk, offering the vaccine and attempting to collect specimens to see if the virus has been spreading. Some families have said, 'No, thank you, we do not want to interact with you at all.' Other families have said, 'Sure, we'll get vaccinated. We'll provide specimens.

Harry Hull

I can't agree more with Jon; it is imperative to be wary of unsolicited e-mails and to keep your operating system and anti-virus as recent as possible.

Charles Elliott

Many countries where the disease is endemic have already taken action but they are overwhelmed by the situation and require urgent assistance. Fighting the disease in animals is key to our success in limiting the threat of a human pandemic. We know that the virus is being spread by wild birds but we need more research to fully understand their role.

Louise Fresco

Because of injuries and Alicia's virus, we've been forced to play Houston more than we expected. I thought we'd be going with our older, experienced players, but she has accelerated her growth over the weekend. She's a terminator and, for the moment, the (starting) job is hers.

Dave Shoji

I have the AIDS virus myself, that's why I'm trying to educate my brothers and sisters.

Maria Davis

Since we used a virus to deliver the gene, there is always concern that virus doesn't transfer to the babies. We were able to show that the virus was not passed onto the pups.

Vinay Tergaonkar

It's a flu-like virus; it's just some kind of crud that's going around.

Sue Grinnell

Unlike the original 'ILOVEYOU' virus, this one appears to have started, at least in significant part, in the United States rather than spreading from Asia to Europe to the United States.

Michael Vatis

We just kept thinking that it's just a virus, it's just a virus. We had no idea.

Bethany Nicholson

Patient 1 had not had any known direct contact with poultry, but had cared for her 21-year-old brother (patient 2) while he had a documented H5N1 virus infection.

Yoshihiro Kawaoka

Ideally, this would cover all variations on the bird flu virus.

Reinhard Kurth

We've not seen anything. This is what we envisioned would happen. Everyone knew about (it), and took steps to mitigate the effects. The virus writer is probably running scared. It's great--everybody in the antivirus community helped each other out.

Mark Toshack

The HIV virus is now spreading from high-risk groups to the general population, and we're at a crucial stage in fighting and treating AIDS.

Wang Longde

It is bird flu. It is an H5 virus and we're still confirming that it's N1. That will become clear in coming days.

Cathy Maret

One of the unique things about this Trojan is that it appears to be using a toolkit called Yoda that allows the author to create pseudo-polymorphic code. It's a way to thwart anti-virus signatures.

Dan Hubbard

We are actually disease-free in Vietnam for the moment. We're probably not virus-free, but what the mass vaccination has done is reduce the virus load in the environment we have less virus circulating.

Hans Troedsson

It is early in the season to detect West Nile virus.

Gary Erbeck

They don't fly to an area. They are established, so we know they caught the virus in this area.

Kriss Costa

We say that HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. We say it's very difficult to get and very difficult to get rid of. Everything the teacher says is tightly scripted.

Kelly Devers

It's very easy to blame bird migration, because then no one's responsible. Migrating birds may introduce the virus into an area, but it is human activity that spreads it.

Juan Lubroth

It's a completely novel virus. Nobody has ever had it before, so when you come in contact with it, you get sick.

Chuck Hammer

Vertex achieved all of its clinical, research and financial objectives in 2005. In particular, we increased our financial strength as we advanced potentially transformational compounds targeting hepatitis C virus (HCV), rheumatoid arthritis and cystic fibrosis. Our performance last year has positioned us to build momentum in 2006.

Joshua Boger

We don't have the genetic sequence yet but we hope to soon which should tell us if it is the same virus that we have seen in Turkey and in the region surrounding the Black Sea area, where we have seen a lot of outbreaks in the last six months.

Michael Perdue

I was planning on running in the Big Cap, but he got that virus. Missing a work, it would have been too tough. He's back on the track. There's no sense in running him unless he's perfect.

Beau Greely

It's a very fast moving virus. It usually works through the (body's) system in four hours. It causes vomiting and diarrhea.

Deanna Hindenach

In wintertime, we really are concerned because the risk is higher. The more the environment is ideal for the virus the more outbreaks we are expecting.

Dr. Noureddin Mona

If necessary, even before a pandemic, we'll start making fresh vaccine strains. We will be following it along, and hopefully be keeping up with it. If, when a pandemic strikes and it is H5, we'll pounce on that virus immediately.

Dr Jim Robertson

In the laboratory, this compound has been able to block the virus -- all the virus strains that we have tested -- from replicating.

Amy Patick

I love my job, ... It's definitely what we live for. Most of these people are hard-core anti-virus people. A lot of them eat, sleep, and breathe these sort of things.

Vincent Gullotto

With the appearance of this virus in Russia south of Moscow, we had to re-evaluate the risk.

Juergen Trittin

Anti-virus companies have the problem that the attacks involve a file format that was not used for previous attacks. The researchers had to dig through the file format, and detection routines had to be carefully tested in order to avoid false positives.

Andreas Marx

This finding underscores the importance of our statewide surveillance and mosquito control activities and the key role physicians play in recognizing and reporting symptoms of the virus to health officials.

Christine Grant

We cannot afford to wait to battle the disease in pharmacies and hospitals, ... but need to get rid of the virus in affected farmers' backyards.

Jacques Diouf

Lockdown provides the core technology that makes switches on the network intelligent. We can integrate virus scanners, patch management, and other protection technologies so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Brett Helsel

Jonathan's voice is under some kind of strain from a cold -- some kind of virus. No pun intended.

Johannes Laitenberger

The Norton Anti-Virus gateway was affected.

Chris Miller

There are many other examples. West Nile virus spread from insects to humans; the avian flu we are now so worried about comes from birds. Diseases also jump to domesticated animals such as cows - the human variant of 'mad cow disease', from rodents, and from many different species.

Stanley Lemon

We're going to play the most sophisticated chess game, chess match ever known to man, with a virus.

Pete Martinez

The patterns (of the virus) in Asia right now would not suggest that it would come over to North America this fall.

Christopher Brand

I have to tell you that, sadly, this affectionate greeting contains a virus which has immobilized the House's internal communication system.

Margaret Beckett

The virus doesn't have any practical application -- it's classic proof-of-concept code, written to show that it is possible to create a cross-platform virus. However, our experience shows that once proof-of-concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code, and adapt it for their own use.

Kaspersky Lab

It's called a neutralization test, and it generally reflects the presence of antibodies that can attach to the bird-flu virus and immobilize it.

John Treanor

This is the way virus writers can upgrade the infected machines. It's like [Microsoft's] Windows update for viruses.

Mikko Hypponen

West Nile virus is not known to be here. Our concern is that after seven to 10 days after the rain stops, we could see a large number of adult mosquitoes.

Greg Olmsted

All measures to contain the virus and its possible spread have been taken.

Ivo Sanader

Bird flu today is not a problem for travelers. There is no case of a traveler contracting the virus. The day a pandemic will start, the picture will change totally.

Francesco Frangialli

The other thing is regular hygiene, hand-washing especially. That's very important. It usually gets rid of the virus from your hands. And it's really easy to do.

Michael Esquivel

Just the introduction per se (of the virus from wild birds to poultry) is not a major risk but if it becomes endemic, that is the problem.

Malik Peiris

We have Sodje back next week so that is a boost, Phil Stamp will be back training he's suffered with a virus the last week so he will be looking at two weeks to be available for selection. We'll have a look at the situation next week but bringing in a player on loan is an option.

David Hodgson

This virus tends to stick to tissue rather than move through it, so when we inject it into an organ like the brain, for instance, it tends to stay there. To be successful, we need the virus to move and spread through the body. So, we have evolved variants [of the virus] that have less stickiness to tissue.

David Schaffer

Right now, there's no way of knowing which way of weakening the virus will make the best vaccine.

John Connor

We've seen images where quite clearly they are not protected properly. We see people with bare hands, their eyes, their nose and their mouth uncovered, where they are possibly breathing in virus.

Maria Cheng

So far the situation is still under control, the number of deaths due to the AI virus is still below those in Vietnam and Thailand .

Siti Fadilah Supari

[This strain of influenza virus] has been in horses for 40 years, and in all these years, we have never been able to document a single case of human infection with the virus.

Ruben Donis

It's the first of it's type, because simply activating the e-mail that is infected will launch the virus, ... It totally bypasses the previous philosophy of 'don't open that attachment if you don't know what it is.'

Chris Williams

In the world of birds, ruffled feathers is one sign of a virus. Isn't that also the case at work or home? Infected birds shed the virus by exhaling and excreting. Humans do it through gossip and anger. Both are contagious. Don't be a carrier!

Rhoberta Shaler, Phd

Bird flu isn't over in Switzerland. We are not finding cases any more but on the other hand we can be quite sure that the bird flu virus will remain in the wild bird population in Switzerland for years to come ? our guess is about five-20 years.

Marcel Falk

We are trying to get on top of it ... Culling takes place only in farms where the virus has been confirmed.

Junaidu Maina

It's only a matter of time before it gets here. It's like West Nile virus.

Dr. Matthew Cartter

A virus infects files, which this does not do. It creates its own files. The way it crosses over could be seen by some as a worm-like feature but it does not spread any further like a worm.

Jonathan Read

We've had a late start to the West Nile virus season partially because of the unseasonably cool spring.

David Gaines

Each company has a different view of the world, ... That's why we try to have ratings based on the virus itself.

Vincent Weafer

The UK's disease-free status for avian flu is not altered here. We've got an avian flu in quarantine. All of the birds that come in from outside of the European Union come into quarantine and we picked up the avian flu virus in the UK quarantine system.

Debby Reynolds

The moral immune system of this country has been weakened and attacked, and the AIDS virus is the perfect metaphor for it. The malignant neglect of the last twelve years has led to breakdown of our country's immune system, environmentally, culturally, politically, spiritually and physically.

Barbara Streisand

This virus that we're talking about now could be even nastier than that of 1918.

Hugh Pennington

There is a cure for the hepatitis C virus. Therapies available today have a 50% - 60% cure rate.Get tested and if you have it, get treatment. It can save your life. Please don't wait.

Kathie Bryson

The lethal capacity of this virus is very, very high, so it's a deadly virus that humans have not been exposed to before. That's a very bad combination.

Irwin Redlener

So while you might think it is coming from cousin Alice, most likely cousin Alice is not going to send you something that says 'Hey look at these pictures with naked people.' So that should be your first clue that a virus is propagating and you'd be well served to call cousin Alice to let her know that she is [unknowingly] sending out this type of e-mail.

Alain Sergile

There were 284 deaths from West Nile virus last year, (but) 30,000 deaths from pneumonia and influenza, and those are diseases that we can immunize against, ... So this is still a quite rare condition and not something that people should be overly concerned about.

Daniel Blumenthal

Ideally each workstation will be capable of detecting what it thinks is a new virus. And it should be able to get a response in 30 minutes.

Roger Thompson

The Indian way of cooking chicken and eggs does not transmit the virus. In any case, quarantine imposed in the infected areas will not allow meat from that area to be sold elsewhere.

Dr Nk Ganguly

It gives us some reassurance that by continuing to monitor the current virus in birds, we can get a sense as to when it'll be an efficient virus. We may have some time to develop new vaccines and better therapies.

Robert Belshe

It's only for those partners who are authorized to sell our enterprise-type products, so this isn't really for the lower-end Windows-based anti-virus and backup type products.

Julie Parrish

In terms of how did the donor acquire this West Nile virus infection, the two possibilities are a mosquito bite before the time that the person was injured in the automobile accident, or received a blood product immediately after being injured, ... I think we have to aggressively pursue the possibility that a blood product is responsible for this.

James Hughes

Migratory waterfowl certainly do mix on the nesting grounds in the Arctic. The preponderate movement of this virus (from Asia to Europe) appears to be going the wrong direction to come to us — although it's not impossible. But for this season, I would suggest we are without risk at this time.

Dr. Max Coats

This is not a critical issue for our customers, as this virus hasn't been seen in the wild. McAfee has a broad range of security products, many of which have behavioral controls which would be able stop an attack.

Greg Day

We have asked ISPs to host anti-virus software free on their websites, so that people know and can download them.

Dinesh Rai

The priority to prevent the pandemic still stands on Asia, but besides that, if the virus is coming in Africa, yes, it's a very big worry for us.

Joseph Domenech

This virus just breaks all the rules.

What we were able to do is compare the binding site of both the viral RNA and the cells' cap binding protein on a factor that is common to both mechanisms in eIF3. The binding cap is one of the complexes required by the cell, but not required by the virus. For translations, this cup binding protein has to interact with the eIF3.

We are gaining information on the differences and similarities between viral mechanisms and eukaryotic mechanisms. Getting to the molecular details of these gets to the possibility of learning one mechanism versus the other so you can try and stop (the virus from attacking) the human cell.

It's such a nasty virus.

Eric Sites

What we've done is focus on one particular, main service, which was spam and virus filtering. It's going well, but we see huge opportunities to add on to that.

Eric Rachal

This is a virus that has never been seen in humans before. This is consistent with previous epidemiologic and genetic research that has suggested that prostate cancer may result from chronic inflammation, perhaps as a response to infection.

Eric Klein

It's really a client check. It's a scheduled component that checks frequently for new virus threats.

Enrique Salem

This whole thing is like a cross between a very severe virus and getting married.

Flu is a virus that most people have no immunity or build-up to. It could spread worldwide and become a pandemic in 4 to 6 weeks.

Emily Palmer

It seems to be a localized virus going around in the Philippines. As far as we know if has not affected a lot of U.S. users.

Elias Levy

To date, there have been only sporadic reports of influenza activity within New Jersey, so the height of the virus season could be later this year. I advise anyone who has not yet received the flu vaccine to take advantage of the January 23 clinic.

Ella Boyd

We're trying to work out where the virus could possibly have come from, seeing as these birds remain in the same place.

Elke Reinking

We see no compelling scientific reason to re-create the virulent virus.

Edward Hammond

What we seem to be seeing is a virus that's spreading fairly rapidly, particularly among groups of dogs in kennel and boarding situations.
