Ummm, one in five catches it, one in five of those kicks the bucket, you say?
(330,000,000 / 5) / 5 = 13,200,000
If that number included all politicians, I'd be all for it.
One if five catches the disease, but 60% of those die from it.
20% mortality rate (1 in 5) would be for Spanish flu.
Avian flu mortality is insanely high, and shows no signs of lessening (which is atypical). Doctors can usually diagnose if a patient will live or die based on a chest X-Ray of lung damage.
Right now, it is expanding its permanent base in Asia, where it has become endemic. Everybody is on tenterhooks waiting for “City Zero”.
