We are less than two years away from a massive pandemic, my guess is 40% of the worlds population is going to perish soon.

Between the Congo and southeast asia, sterilizing any potential microbial material brought back from space probes like in the Andromeda Strain becomes a moot point.

Two oceans means nothing in this day of global travel.
It meant nothing in 1914 (or whenever that flu pandemic happened) either.

You can just feel it brewing, both Africa and Asia are brewing some serious stuff, and it's about to break Oceans will not protect us at all because the political will to isolate our country in case of an outbreak does not exist, better a billion or two perish than offend somebody. I've been watching these stories for a couple of years now. My "gut feeling" is that we're very close.

If worse came to worse, we could quarantine our nation. Still think a virus could travel trans-ocean w/o a human carrier?

This could be the one, but if it's not, the Marsburg virus is out of control too, and there is no cure for it. A couple hundred people have already died from it and hundreds more are infected, with 8 of them being in Italy. That was during the time the huge crowds were in Italy for the Pope's funeral. Hopefully, no one from other countries were infected.
It could be the worst disaster in history IF someone attending the funeral was infected and got on a plane filled with people heading home to other countries. It has up to a 20 day incubation period so we won't know for a while yet.

All we are buffered by is a 15 hour plane ride.
