If you surround yourself with experts in a certain field you will get a certain set of explanations.<BR/><BR/>What I don't see is someone telling why the deer are not the problem. What measures have they taken to ascertain the situation and how do they rule it out ?<BR/><BR/>This could cost us all dearly ( no pun intended ).<BR/><BR/>On the drain as a Chemical Engineer I can't understand is why they aren't stainless steel and if inspection is needed above ground.<BR/><BR/>What other viruses went down that drain - Anthrax ?

The virus would die in drier, sunnier conditions. It is generally considered by the scientific community (of whom Mrs (Dr) Weasel is one, that climate conditions have exacerbated the problem.<BR/><BR/>There is also the dire example of the interface between public and private cooperation at Pirbright, and petty arguments about who pays for the drains - as if this was an owner's commitee in a tenement!Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.com
