Hi! I'm Lou, I've been lurking for a while, and have finally decided 
to post. 

I've been musing alot lately on disease & the wizarding world. 
Do magic people get muggle diseases? 
What interests me the most would be something like AIDS, or even just 
STD's in general- we know that muggles & wizards & witches do have 
relationships & wouldn't the HIV virus have spread to the magic world 
by now? Because all it takes is one infected person,etc. 
Also, if it had spread to the magical world, maybe the magical world 
would have a cure for it and they wouldn't be so horrible as to not 
share the cure with the muggle world,especially if the MoM knew how 
it has devastated the muggle world- or would they? 
So this brings me to think that maybe magical people are immune to 
muggle disease or that they just don't do introvenous drugs. Also, 
what about the Third World? Is there a magic equivelent?

All of that sounded much better in my head than it looks on screen, 
but oh well. And I know that this stuff will probably never get 
mentioned in canon either.
 Oh! How I would love to meet J.K Rowling & just chew her ear off! 
Not literaly, of course:)

Bye for now,
Lou

P.S Could anyone tell me what flaming is? It's been mentioned a fair 
bit & I take it as something not so good, but what is it exactly? 
Someone does not like your story so they leave you a horrible message 
full of swearing & hate? Or they just write to you going "Hi, I'm 
flaming you"? For ages I thought it was someone drawing pictures of 
flames & sending them to someone they hated! (pretty lame)
