What I’d like to know is what defenses do we have...can’t help but think those in big cities are most vulnerable if this thing gets lose. Was just looking at a history of the black plague on Wikipedia and it appears as though it bypassed Poland, of all places. I've heard from survivalists that if you drink water infused with oregano oil for a week it can kill most any virus in your body.

One of the statistics that I remember from the book is that certain groups of people had a higher survival rate with certain viruses. People who ate meat seemed to survive at a higher rate. Thus the upper class. Viruses rob you of protein and resupplying protein is helpful. Some viruses attack the heart ( and heart valves) so fast there is not much hope. I think it was the swine flu in the 1800's that could kill a healthy train car full of passengers in one hour if an infected person got on board when the virus was hot.
