new SARS-like virus.

One to keep an eye on

Apart from the early days when the red army and their nukes was the big concern a pandemic has always been my biggest concern. Too many people living too close together, cheap air travel, open borders, industrial meat production, it's going to happen one day.

it could mutate in the middle east if it spreads,then if it starts to get contagious then who knows, but it would be a good population control virus for the government, just imagine all those state pensions and JSA they wouldn't have to pay for the victims

The movie contagion is about a virus that mutates.

Sars and Swine flu didnt affect us to badly, but you never know how this one could spread. Bird flus still a big issue in asia but its never on the news.

As the world's population increases, and antibiotics become less and less effective due to resistance, I think some kind of pandemic is inevitable.

I'm not worried.

I'm getting my yearly flu jab soon and I truly believe the government when they say I'm going to be safe!

I also believe in Father Christmas and world peace but there again I have just changed my medication.

Wheeee!

The best and most realistic pandemic movie ever made IMO.

I wonder how many preppers bugged out or otherwise went nuts over the swine flu. To somebody who's been on the lookout for pandemics, it must've seemed like the beginning of "the big one"

IMAO I think that a pandemic is probably the worse kind of SHTF scenario because no amount of prepping is going to be able to save you, even bugging out is no guarantee against infection because you are bound to come into contact eventually with people who have survived the disease but still carry the virus.
