You make me curious. Do you think it has anything to do with Judy's 'It takes two to tango' ?
I do need some fuel to fire the XMRV debat up in Belgium in my weekly column in my blog.
I hope you are right, xrayspex.

Love,
Berthe

Where did you hear that the NIH will be announcing something today? Could it have been confused with the UK announcement?

a PWC friend online told me, but she hasnt gotten back to me about her source.....soooo I was just digging to see if anything to it, haha I didnt mean to start a rumor......maybe we should, get a buzz going and then pretty soon Fox will pick it up like its true, cool, what should we say? Blood ban of CFS folks in US announced by NIH Oct. 8 2010 due to retroviral concerns.

They

Probably just figure they better announce they are doing something to stop us from calling, e-mailing and faxing so much. Hopefully it would be something meaningful and not another stall tactic , smokescreen type thing.
