fancy that.

JR is right ,  where in the world did you read cell wall deficient bacteria as the cause of her death? 

Still wondering about the mycoplasma assertion on this one... when
 
This is the virus talked about in the article. OK, its Wikipedia but there is bound to be some truth there somewhere.
 
Naw - the coronavirus was an incorrect lab result.  Subsequent testing showed that it was a novel flu strain.  you missed the humor  hehe [QUOTE=mabus][QUOTE=JasmineRain]Naw - the coronavirus was an incorrect lab result.  Subsequent testing showed that it was a novel flu strain. [/QUOTE]
 
Ooopps! Thats what happens when ya dont read an article through.
 
Sorry peeps!
Well I guess Pip and the other mycoplama-causes-everything crowd are just going to keep blaming every disease on those naughty little buggers.
Actually, it was in the link that you hit on the front page of the LA Times.  The evening addition is now out and the link is no longer there but the whole title of the article is now #8 on the 'most viewed' list.
 
I just wondered if anybody else was seeing similar reports around the country?  Interesting that it's not a 'cytokine storm'.  Guess we'll know more as they analyze the data.
 
Hugs,

PS - it causes Narcolepsy too now! [QUOTE=Pip!]Actually, it was in the link that you hit on the front page of the LA Times.  The evening addition is now out and the link is no longer there but the whole title of the article is now #8 on the 'most viewed' list. No mention anywhere of "cell wall deficient bacteria killing the people in Mexico"maybe instead of posting obscure links.. you could actually include the data in the story you wouldn't repeatedly be caught defending yourself?????
 
because....... TBH..... this gets old... waiting for Pip to tell the truth.
Here's the entire article from Pip's link.  Can someone please tell me where mycoplasma or any other bacteria are cited as the cause of death?

A critical patient, an overwhelmed hospital and a tenacious newspaper

Doctors at Dr. Aurelio Valdivieso General Hospital in Oaxaca, where the first swine flu fatality occurred. A newspaper sent in undercover reporters after a tip from an insider at the under-equipped facility. In Oaxaca, one of Mexico's poorest areas, the Despertar daily sniffed out the crisis, forcing doctors to announce, a week before emergency was declared, that they faced a deadly 'atypical pneumonia.' By Tracy Wilkinson
May 5, 2009 Reporting from Oaxaca, Mexico -- It was Easter weekend when people in Oaxaca noticed strange happenings at the state-run Dr. Aurelio Valdivieso General Hospital. Sections were suddenly off-limits. Security guards were added.

The cop reporter at the local newspaper, El Diario Despertar, got a tip from a source at the hospital. Not above dressing its journalists up as paramedics, the paper sent two people to investigate. They quickly realized that the hospital was seized by alarm.
