Allyson,
that isn't it exactly. spoilers for the end of the movie:
The catalyst is really a big pharma company who is clearcutting a forest, which drives bats to a particular part of the region with pig farms. The bats' partially eaten food is eaten by the pigs. The virus' origin is bat AND pig.
I want to see Contagion, but I would unnerve the other people in the theater in my current coughing and dripping state.
I mean, I agree for germ reasons, but it would be pretty hilarious.
I would like the point out that the Saints are kicking ass.
I have jury duty tomorrow, which I'm actually kind of fine with. I get to sleep in a little bit, and I don't have to deal with work stupidness.
Do you ever feel like you're on everyone's RL Marcie list?
It's a pretty common condition, Allyson. I just thought it was the way everybody felt most of the time.
Oh. Maybe I should be more annoying.
That's one way to go. I usually try killing 'em with kindness and charm and a blinding smile. That way I can walk away knowing I'm SO MUCH the better person than they.

I started sneezing in the theater. P looked over at me and then I had to try and stop laughing too.
Allyson,
My take on it is that humans cause it because we never consider consequences of things like destroying habitat. And forget that, to viruses, we're just made of meat.
I need to get my flu shot.
