Once again, we reap what we sow

Obviously, our world renown and brightest scientists are once again at wits end. Which must be a terrible malady for those of such genius/god levels of intelligence.

Scientists have told us for decades, how everything in the universe works and how they as scientists can mimick create life at their whim. Minor missteps like thalidomide and a myriad of other examples aside,they have done pretty well according to their own press releases. And after all, everyone is apparently entitled to a bungle from time to time and this is just another anomaly in their endeavors to explain the universe and the absence of God (replaced by science).

The only problem is, once again they don't know what they have done or what they have created or how to respond to it or how to stop it. 

The honey bees of the planet are already affected by some yet to be identified malady that could catastrophically affect crop yields and if this virus gains a foothold in cross species mammals? We may all be doomed to either starvation or the end of the human race through genetically manipulated genocide.

The Schmallenberg virus causes lambs to be born dead or with serious deformities such as fused limbs and twisted necks, which mean they cannot survive.

Scientists are urgently trying to find out how the disease, which also affects cattle, spreads and how to fight it, as the number of farms affected increases by the day.

So far, 74 farms across southern and eastern England have been hit by the virus, which arrived in this country in January.

A thousand farms in Europe have reported cases since the first signs of the virus were seen in the German town of Schmallenberg last summer.

The National Farmers Union has called it a potential “catastrophe” and warned farmers to be vigilant. “This is a ticking time bomb,” said Alastair Mackintosh, of the NFU. “We don’t yet know the extent of the disease. We only find out the damage when sheep and cows give birth, and by then it’s too late.”
