Did everyone see the movie "Contagion"? I thought it well done and realistic. Good way to get your head in the game. Plus it was fun to see Gwynenth Paltrow die.
I've heard disease specialists talk about 500 million as a perfectly likely scenario. Historically die-offs can be in the 10-15% range.
The human race is heading for that now. It's just a clock, ticking down to midnight. Want to survive? Be rich, or, be single and ready to live like a cockroach, tough and resilient as hell. Have a hideout in New Zealand. You need to be able survive for 1-2 years while the riots die down and the scientists distribute cures. Science is now advanced enough that they will always eventually find a vaccine, but it's just a matter of surviving long enough.
Yes, I have seen the movie Contagion, MrLemon.
