No need for panic over killer illness: S. Africa | Health | Reuters

what do you guys think? i think it's only a matter of time until some kind of disease spreads and takes care of the overpopulation of humans. could this be it? i hope not. it doesn't sound like a very pleasant way to die. all the articles i've read on this have been fairly vague, only saying that victims have died from bleeding from multiple sights. i was just wondering if anyone else had read about this/thoughts?

i'm a bit concerned.

bummmmmmp!? no one!?

I have heard some things, but I don't worry about it. Humanity is entering what appears to be a very trying time where many scenarios could play out.

Indeed. The next few months will be interesting.

they will, give bush the bleeding aids virus lol before he leaves office

You're probably right. That's why I'm just going to keep on smoking me some herbs and watch it all go down.

I would never rule something like this out. Though the avian flu is something that worries me as well, every major health institution will tell you, it isn't a matter of IF an avian flu pandemic will hit, it's a matter of WHEN.. when you realize how much money is being spent to prepare for that pandemic, it would make anyone nervous.. The death from avian flu is brutal as well with the cytokine storms.. using your own immune system against you, literally suffocating yourself. The strongest immune systems being the most vulnerable. Would be scary to see a repeat of the Spanish Flu pandemic, but worse. To say the least, I've done my homework and have supplies in the house to help if it ever arises..

The last major pandemic that was a quick killer was the Spanish Flu of 1918. It killed about 5% of world's population at the time. If a similar influenza virus were to kill 5% of the world's population today, that would amount to 300 million dying.

I suspect that the influenza virus will once again cause a pandemic. It will probably start in an over populated third world country. It could also spread with the use of flu shots. Either way, it will kill many infants and many elderly people.

With the over use of antibiotics, the reduction in the world's food supply, and a larger separation of wealth, expect a plague to happen in the next 10 years.

Bingo- the avian flu is a mutated super form of the Spanish flu.. but no- it would not kill a bunch of babies and elderly people, just as with the Spanish flu, the death is from the cytokine storms, which hits and kills those with the strongest immune systems. As in the Spanish flu pandemic where most of the deaths were of people aged 20-40. The cytokine storms trigger an over reaction of the immune system, your body literally suffocates itself with the over production of immunity cells- so death hits those with the strongest immune systems.
