Bird Flu. Scary as fuck. Turns out it's spreading like crazy, and that it infects ALL body systems. Only problem is that there's no human-to-human transmission yet. But it causes: diarheea, fever, blistering, cramps, body aches, runny nose, vomiting. With all those body fluids invovled, it HAS to be transmissible. And it has a 50% kill rate.

Doctors require ample supply of medicine to do their job. It's my understanding that such a supply (in the case of bird flu) does not exist. I wouldn't say a pandemic is *impossible*.

however right now the US gov't is looking for pharamaceutical contractors to supply the medicine. this is both creating a "need" out of nothing and putting loads of money in some shady company's pockets--along with the gov't. Think Haliburton

Most of the death caused by previous pandemics were from unhygenic environments that the deaths by the disease created. So it should be as bad as before what with good doctors and morgues etc.
