It is almost certainly BOTH issues causing it. You have an increase in regular citizens that do not take their vaccines, and then you add illegals who bring in the disease with them. That is the whole issue with whopping cough here in Colorado. It comes in with illegals, but some of our nutjob citizens did not take precautions.

Originally, we had live attenuated virus. These are GREAT, with one exception: they CAN revert. That was esp. true of the small pox vaccine. So, then they went to killed virus. But this also introduces some issues with cross-over stimulis. So, now, they try to pick one or two proteins and grow just those. That is probably the worse way to do it. We should go back to live virus for the majority of diseases (those that are not killers), and then use the killed virus for those that would normally kill.

It should be required that ALL of these devices be made in western nations. Otherwise, you can be certain that there will be backdoors in the hardware.

that is only true for MS and Apple. That is NOT the case for OSS. :)

Because with OSS, you can remove it.

Microsoft, Yahoo, and Apple ALREADY have open doors for FBI. About the only clean system will be the OSS, and even then, it is NOT guaranteed unless you have the OSS bios.

That really is NOT the case. The fact is, that a MINORITY of Americans think that climate change has some doubt.
The problem is NOT that, though republicans use it as a crutch.
The REAL problem is that the Liberals are making a HORRIBLE mistake with this and refuse to come up with NEW ideas on how to solve this. And CO2 and other GHG will continue. Heck, even Europe is backing off because they have found that they can NOT compete against other nations that are NOT taking the economic hit.
Assume that USA takes the economic hit. Then what will happen is that China, India, Russia, South Africa, etc. will build up coal plants WITHOUT pollution control as quickly as possibly. Why? To capture more manufacturing and other items from USA.
So, what is a REAL SOLUTION? Involve ALL nations (and states ) at the same time.

For America, we need 2 things ASAP:
1) require all new buildings under 4 stories to have unsubsidized on-site AE to provide energy equal to 95% or more of their HVAC. Why do this? Because it will encourage builders to NOT put up loads of solar, but to instead, look for alternatives such as better insulation, aerogel windows, geo-thermal HVAC, etc.
2) put a tax on ALL goods based on which nations/state they come from and the CO2 emissions. But several things about this:
a) none of this guess work. We need it based on OCO2, which will measure directly. Greenies are in for a REAL shocker. Their beliefs about America's emissions are probably close since we do direct measurements, but China is way too low. In addition, it does not matter the source. Just co2(out) - co2(in).
b) this needs to be normalized, but not based on per capita. It needs to be on tonnes / $ of actual GDP (not GDP-ppp). The truth is, that the vast majority of emissions is not tied to ppl, but to business.
c) it needs to start low and increase. If you want your product to be an exception to the tax, then you will say where components come from and then the tax is lowered based on the location being more efficient. As such, goods from China would have the max tax on it.
America's own goods would then have average tax, but dropping.
Likewise, goods from Sweden would have a low tax.

Here is some data for the later:
This is wiki, but it is based on 2006 data.
Here is 2009 data, but it is ppp GDP (which rewards nations for manipulating their money against the dollar; hence why it has to be real $GDP ).

With the above approaches, it would put ALL nations/states on the same footing. If they want to sell here without a tax, they need to drop their emissions. And by spending a bit of money cleaning up, it rewards a nation by paying lower taxes.

Seriously, you liberals are hurting yourselves. You scream that America needs to destroy the economy, while allowing Europe to move their heavy dirty work to monitored eastern Europe. More importantly, all of BRIC, will continue to grow quickly with coal, not AE. China says that they will put limits, but they have broken every single treaty that they have signed over the last 40 years. Heck, they are now inside of Indian land claiming that it is theirs, even though India has had control of it since the 60's.

If you liberals and Europeans REALLY want to make a difference, then you will change tactics.
First and foremost is to get rid of this idea that emissions is tied to ppl. It is not. It is tied to rapid expansion of GDP. As such, you want to tackle the CO2/GDP. From another posting elsewhere:

We made the mistake of buying Electrolux fridge and dishwasher. An extended warranty for the two cost us 300+. However, we have had over 10 visits on the 2 and invoked lemon law on dishwasher. Now we have kitchenaide with no issues. However we have had over 5 visits for fridge with different issues, but they have to be more than 1 month apart. With this next call(yeah we have a call in), we will have to invoke lemon law again. And we will switch to kitchen aide. If u buy some appliance from overseas get extended warranty. Electrolux, frigid are poorly designed, built, and supported. The same is true of IKEA junk And haier. LG and Samsung are not poorly made, but apparently are horrible for repairs. And very expensive. Get extended for any of these. I would also recommend for GE.

Seriously, we need to encourage cities like NYC to do this and pull in garbage from around the area. This is far better than throwing it away in a dump or in the ocean.

who said that price is going up? It is going down. However, the upfront money is more expensive.

Quite honestly, it is not what you think. Basically, it is a nice outsourcing sham business that sends it all to China. In addition, I have had more difficulty dealing with them than with local manufacturers. That is why I tried an easy idea to see what would happen. I also tried to get ahold of Kaufman to ask about future direction. Instead, I got some gal who told me zero chance to talking to him and zero chance of anything being produced in America. Quirky makes Shark Tank vultures look like boy scouts.

Unsanitary condition that is covered by innoculating their birds with vaccines and tamiflu. Sadly, when it goes around the world, this will be damaging because the Chinese have already genetically selected the most lethal virus.

They are following the constitution. Now the neo-cons will be upset about that and insist that their buddies at SCOTUS to overrule the 5th.
