Beijing has finally let the cat out of the bag. Okay, I'm sorry. Remember SARS? Who doesn't? Well a joint China-Hong Kong research team has announced they've determined that SARS spread to humans from civet cats.
Hong Kong scientists have long speculated that the Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus was spread to humans by the civet cat, a popular delicacy in parts of China, and then developed the ability to rapidly spread from human to human.
So, next time when they pass the kitty platter, just say "no".
