In essence though, it is worrying when you think how many thousands the black plague and the spanish flu wiped out, but immune systems, general health and most importantly sanitation was almost non-existent then, taking that aside though, modern society is perfect for the spread of a virulent virus due to planes, trains and boats now travelling to all corners of the world. A deadly disease can be carried by one airbourne passenger from one side of the world to another in a matter of hours! |

Normal flu kills around half a million people a year.
When the statistics top that and bits of me are dropping off, THEN i'll get worried.
