thats the thing about all this travel. my daughter and the x went to disney land last year and on the euro star on the way back some other little girl was being sick so badly that they had an ambulance and heart attack team waiting. when i heard this i thought yea yeah, over reacting as ausual. bloody heart attack team ppppphhhss. then 3am i'm watching t.v in the country (no help if i needed) i started throwing up so bad-instant and violently. i couldnt breath through the spasm's. real scary. i dont mind being sick(when i have to i just get it over with) its the feeling of feeling sic i cant stand. but i've never felt anything like this. poor little thing on that train!!! i like to think of my self as pretty strong in the head but i like a kitten after that night.

Of all the scenarios for SHTF I fear mother nature will provide it. A virus that mutates to become Pneumonic has the potential to threaten our survival. During the Black Death episode there were two major strains of (yersinia pestis) the Bubonic strain was transmitted by the bite of infected fleas, picking up the virus from the host rats and transmitting it to humans through bites. This caused the swelling of the Lymph nodes and subsequent deaths. The more dangerous form mutated to be contracted through airbourne particles spread through sneezing coughing ( A tishoo, A tishoo we all fall down) as the nursery rhyme reminds us. If this new virus mutates to a pulmonary form it has the potential to be very nasty

Has anyone heard anymore about this or is it off the news because it killed him?

Think the outbreak was contained.

Pnemonic plague, untreatable TB and other airborne pathogens are a damn good reason for not going to or living in cities and never using public transport.
