I have an idea. Eldorado, why not clear your "good" name? Certainly there is a protocol for reporting such viruses so why don't you post up copies of the correspondance that you had with the CDC. So as not to break HIPPA laws, maybe you could block your patient's name and personal information from any of the documents that would support your claim.
Right now it sounds like like your report was a phone call that went like this:
Eldorado: Uh yeah, this is Eldorado and we have a serious case of H5N1 down here.
CDC: Ok sir proceed with caution.
Eldorado: No problem (hangs up phone)
CDC worker: (laughing with co workers) What a retard, there are no cases in America. He's probably a Democrat and just needed to lie about something today.
So anyway, the ball is in your court. IMO, you told a little white lie and are trying to cover it up with other little white lies which will only make it worse. Why not just say you know what, I lied and I'm sorry? Or... Post up the evidence and I will apologize to you on this forum for calling you a liar.
