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.

You thoughts on a pandemic?-ping

China started with its bird flu and it's drifted to one of its satellite nations. Now if China would divulge what biological weapon it was working on to originate the bird flu maybe an antidote could be developed.

First of all, this is not good. Secondly; think this will FINALLY close our borders?

Chicken little post of the day award. This excerpt is from an actual news article that is far less alarming, like a flu-season article in the US. The post is from a web-site of a guy hyping his own technology in the viral field. Do you people bother to question these alarmist posts as much as you question the left-wing media?

By the way, if any of you think there will be a mass pandemic killing 30-40% of the world's population, I'll buy your current assets at 50% on the dollar. Surely the global economic crisis resulting from such a pandemic will destroy asset values regardless of class. Anybody want to take me up on that offer. With fewer people housing demand will crash, property values will crash. I'll buy your house today at 50% of appraised value and lease it back at 75% of your current payment. I'll buy your equities and bonds - think of the economic devestation across industries - at 75% of current valuation.

Now I know you'll all have some good excuses why not to take me up on this offer.

Be wary, the source is somewhat an alarmist. Not to dismiss bird flu, though. People really need to start paying more attention to it.
