When you guys are finished with your book, you might want to fix this one. The last paragraph is in such bad shape it doesn’t make any sense at all.

All you really need to say is that it was "Raising Hell". Thats pretty much what it did. Some suggest that it came from space. Specificly from comets. Comets contain Carbon which can contain some sort of life. Drop elements or part of it in the atmosphere and birds pick it up first. A recipe for disaster. That would help explain why Birds always get that crap first. But it would take a heck of a long time for the virus to drop through our atmosphere. Let's hope that next pandemic isn't too far off. Our world is over-populated, it's needs to be cleansed of some humans, Many but not all. [quote]alipardiwala said: “It came, it saw, it conquered.”[/quote]

Okay, rant done. Sorry.
