AGAIN: 128 deaths in ALL THE YEARS they've been trying to scare us...just for ratings. |
Just so you know, the spanish flu (the one he was talking about) WAS BIRD FLU.
Make no mistake, if it does become human-human passable, there will be a lot of deaths. No-one is saying "ohmigod look out it's dangerous now" because right now it isn't. But a flu virus could mutate at any time into human-human, and suddenly extremely large numbers of the population were dead.
To compare:
Estimated death toll of ww1 (all countries) 8 million.
The bird flu that erupted a year after: 50 million.
Still think they're evil scaremongers?
Oh, also. Plague, if caught early enough, is treatable and curable. It's only if allowed to advance that it becomes a hassle. And the conditions it requires for mass spreading no longer exist in western countries. The only threat is if it is used in mass germ warfare, and there are too many cases to treat, which is fairly unlikely.
