ghost of Christmas passed (not a typo)

Well, last summer, I sarcasticly asked what the CDC was waiting for (Christmas??) It seems they were not waiting for Christmas, unless it is Eastern Orthodox Christmas (Jan 6 or so).

Let's list the certainties that we can infer from their foot dragging.

1. They have no pathogen to name (If they did, then why hold it back? After all, we a given minutes notice if a chicken dies unexpectedly in Asia, or a pig croaks in Mexico, or a 95 year old sneezes to deathn in Toronto)

That is the only sure thing: They are not going to name the Pathogen, be it bacterial, viral, animal, chemical or alien.

So then what could be the hold up? Let's round up the usual suspects:

1. Money -HMO's don't want to pay out, doctors don't want to be sued, whoever created the pathogen doesn't want to be sued (or charged)

2. Time (is money): The CDC wants to release this after the Presidential candidates have been announced. They would most certainly pay no attention to this issue, in the face of the world economy going down a Greek toilet, not to mention being associated with a bunch of Delusional, Psychotics (EU leaders)

3. All of the above: For every reason that favors the CDC's timeline, and runs counter to the well being of the victims, the report will come out between March and June 2012. It will be ignored by the media, and for sure it will provide NO answers for us.

4.So we are royally screwed, short of a miracle. Anybody out there have a pocket full of miracles? Time to use them !
