World leaders rehearse for a pandemic that will come ‘sooner than we expect’ | |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 7410997 Canada 10/24/2017 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The big one is coming, and it's going to be a flu pandemic Experts say we are "due" for one. When it happens, they tell us, it will probably have a greater impact on humanity than anything else currently happening in the world. Pandemic flu is apolitical and does not discriminate between rich and poor. Geographical boundaries are meaningless, and it can circle the globe within hours. In terms of potential impact on mankind, the only thing that comes close is climate change. And, like climate change, pandemic flu is so vast, it can be challenging to wrap your head around it.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72770983 Canada 10/24/2017 07:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The government ministers were facing a new infectious disease outbreak. The mysterious virus was sickening and killing people with alarming speed. Some patients had to be placed on ventilators to help them breathe. The new virus seemed resistant to antibiotics and antiviral medicine. Quoting: Wash 2.0 Within a week, officials had closed a major hospital and schools and quarantined thousands of people. Fear and panic spread quickly as people in neighboring countries became infected and died. That scenario was part of a pandemic simulation held during the World Bank’s annual meeting in Washington this month. It’s not the kind of event that people would typically associate with the World Bank. But it’s the fourth such exercise the bank has helped organize in the past year, reflecting what experts say is the growing awareness outside the traditional global health sector of the increasing threat and economic disruption posed by a global pandemic.

Decades ago they said that the oceans would swallow the coastal cities and here I am living in. Gloria Fortis Miles Adversor et Admorsus |

By people they mean 3rd world blacks living in squalor. We don't have plagues here in the western world anymore. We have running water, sewage treatment plants, good hospitals, ect. The reason why plagues always hit Africa, is because those tards don't know the first thing about preventing or treating disease. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72416992 United States 11/07/2017 06:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Although there is more awareness about the issue, experts agree that the world is not prepared for the next pandemic. Quoting: Wash 2.0 “We still are not ready for the big one,” Klain said, noting that next year is the centennial of the great influenza pandemic of 1918 -1919 that killed at least 50 million people worldwide. “We’re frankly not ready for a medium-sized one. The threat is still out there.” You know why they're not ready and will never be ready? Because they won't do the right thing and isolate any emerging pandemic threat. They won't do what even a person with no formal education would know to do -shut down air travel to and from threat areas, and secure the borders. Open borders aren't just about mercantile trade. It's also about engineered lethal contagion trade. |
