‘Tens of millions of cases, and the hospitals quickly become irrelevant. Especially since the medical staff are as affected or more so than anybody else.
Real SHTF stuff.’
Your comment above sounds about right.
I think the airline protesters in NYC have right idea and may get the attention on protecting Americans, even if just on the job. The government seems to be paralyzed with ISIS and now E bola...even though their policies created the problems.
Ebola is almost certainly not the apocalyptic disease that may very well end our present safe and happy world.
But it is almost equally certain one will eventually emerge. We have turned the entire world into a single large petri dish. Evolution will almost certainly produce a pathogen that will take advantage of that fact.
I think we are almost universally in denial of this. Just about every comment I’ve see on this issue have as a root assumption that if we just take the correct steps we can prevent a pandemic. But I don’t think we can.
