I contracted full scale pneumonia 3 yrs. ago....you don't fk around with that guy....this is a bad arse version w/o a cure/vaccine....

people move around....it's pretty simple watching this multiply to know this could take out much more than a handful....

Not Ebola like hopefully. With the Spanish Flu 100 years ago 500 Million infected 50 Million deaths something like that.

Not calling you out SuperFlyBCat, but people always cite the Spanish flu but then neglect to mention that if that occured today, with all the medical advances/protocals, etc I don't think nearly as many people would have died. It was 100 years ago. Still bad, but not 50 million deaths bad.

I really don't know much about any of this.

lol, no worries

I was just pointing out the lots of people point to the Spanish flu in instances like this.

Actually things could potentially be far more dangerous today because of mass world wide travel. And I'm not talking specifically about the Spanish flu virus but any new strain of flu virus.

In the old days people had the protection of oceans and great distances to contain the mass spread of something new, now it could be on 6 continents in 48 hours.

A lot of experts now say its not a matter of if but when.

Even the Bible and Jesus Himself said there would be terrible world wide pestilences at the very end of this age.
