PLAGUE

  "People just don't realize the extent that a deadly airborne virus could cause. They believe we as doctors can cure it before it is too late. But the truth is, if you have a virus with an incubation period of twenty-four hours and it kills its victims in three days, chances are people will be dead and it will be over before we can even get a grip on what it is. It's frightening, but it's the truth."
Dr. Dean Michael Hayes, Virologist
Signs It Could Happen:
  • Reported number of flu cases are on an uprise
  • Researching viruses of the past
  • Health warnings issued concerning intercontinental air travel
  • Reports of unknown illnesses on uprise
  • A plague falls once every generation
  • It hasn't happened to ours yet
What You Could Expect:
  • By the time a virus is recognized to be airborne, with airtravel, it will all ready be too late
  • At the onset of a pandemic chaos will kill as many people as the plague
  • Your chances of being immune are slim
  • If you survive a plague that wipes out the world, chances are no one you know will have lived
  • If there is no cure, there is no stopping it until it runs its course
  • Within 72 hours of its onset, if it's airborne with air travel, all those who are not immune will be infected
  • In one week the world could be barren
  • Ebola has a near 100 percent fatlity rate. If it becomes airborne it's next surfacing, the world WILL end.
Probability Rating: 9
