We are less than two years away from a massive pandemic, my guess is 40% of the worlds population is going to perish soon.

Good thing we are buffered by two oceans.

I pray you are wrong.

This could be the one, but if it's not, the Marsburg virus is out of control too, and there is no cure for it. A couple hundred people have already died from it and hundreds more are infected, with 8 of them being in Italy. That was during the time the huge crowds were in Italy for the Pope's funeral. Hopefully, no one from other countries were infected.

It could be the worst disaster in history IF someone attending the funeral was infected and got on a plane filled with people heading home to other countries. It has up to a 20 day incubation period so we won't know for a while yet.

That will ease the oil demand.

Huh? A mess, yes. A pandemic maybe. 40%, I doubt that.

[verity]

No way. 28% tops.

They said that with SARS too. It will probably hit a brick wall here with the country being cleaner and having more options for food.

Some say it will be more than 40%.

People already accuse me of being a hermit. If this 'stuff' comes to the US, well, no-one will see me except my dogs. (BTW, can dogs get it?).

I pray you are wrong. Between this and Marburg... scary thought.
