I always said that the apocalypse is going to come out of China or India.

That population density combined with poor hygiene standards and proximity to all manner of animals, is going to cause the next plague that will make the Black Death seem like a cold.

>>43839
The black plague actually came out of that region.

Man you are the victim of some pretty bad media delusion if you think that. The flu will never become another pandemic for so many reasons. Local epidemics sure, but our understanding of flu prevention and treatment is several orders higher than it was the last time we had a deadly flu pandemic, which was 100 years ago.

>>43846
I never said anything about a flu.

>>43825
i hope this will catch a few more, than last year

Unless is some CRAZY MUTANT virus, that is a very unlikely scenario. If an apocalypse happens, is most likely a result of some human conflict or Trump getting into office.

>>43868
STDs?!

>>44620
There have been reports of a super strain of the clap evolving due to mass promiscuity and poor treatment of them.

Wouldn't it be awful if humanity fucks itself to extinction.

This is no big deal, as a medical student I've been so much into flu viruses and they are usually not a big deal if human to human transmission is not present, but nevertheless WHO is already prepared in case of pandemics, because they have effective treatment against new strains that are kept away from public use and they are working on vaccines for different strains already, especially since they've suspected that H5N6 would be the next pandemic a long time ago.

Those people responsible for deciding the content for production of the next years flu vaccine keep a sharp watch on China and the usual route a virus will spread out of China.

BTW China is not the only country being watched but it is a big player in the transfer from animal to humans

>Guys it's absolutely happening!
you have no idea how much teh chinese don't fuck around with diseases. They literally locked down an entire city the last time it got a bridswine flu outbreak.
Nothing will happen. Go back to pol. Breath into the paper bag

The WHO endorses mutilating baby boys, my confidence in their medical expertise is somewhat lacking.
