But what I was trying to say is that I was hearing that it kills 90% of people in what amounts to back water 3rd world countries. Now I'm finding that it's closer to 50%.

Combine our superior medical technology with our knowledge of a possible pandemic and it's very unlikely that this disease would wipe out any sizable portion of the population.

Okay. You go first.

it depends on whether the viruses are male or female...

or whether they want to be rangers/green berets/delta force or not...

it helps if they are small so they don't hurt themselves when they hit the ground, jumping out of perfectly good airplane...

So if it only turns out to be a 10% death rate here, we're cool then right? :spock:

Im cancelling my god damned plane tickets to Miami in two weeks if this shit gets any worse. Or maybe I'll just wear gloves and one of those asian people masks.
