Source My only worry is that the only source for this that I know of is a tabloid rag. So I am questioning if this story is true.
And I worry that if it is true, that someone's using the plauge as a biological weapon...either them (and they screwed up and caught it themselves) or us & our allies.
i hope they dont just go to a populated area and spread it that way, as far as the airborn version goes but yea thats great let em rot
I'm pretty sure we have antibiotics for the plague nowadays. I remember a report that was filed not too long after the plague in England wore off, saying they'd conducted research on the rats that caused it, and they found a cure for it using the blood of the rat or something.
That isn't the sort of plague we have to worry about. Its that pesky avian flu or something similar which will rock the world.
We do, but a lot of innocent people in those areas won't have access to the meds any more than the al-Qaeda do, unfortunately.
well they said you die in hours and most people would take that long before they admit something is wrong with them.....
If it's Bubonic plague, then it is spread by flees. So people who are clean enough to avoid flees would be safe.
I believe that you have it for a couple of weeks, but you only show signs of it for a couple of hours beforehand. But however, I am not a doctor and have no expertise in the field. I doubt that this would be the case. It would simply be too hard to contain. It probably just happened naturally.
Assuming it is Bubonic plague; then this is actually still quite active in the world (even the *gasp* US) and is not that surprising that it popped up, but more so surprising that the community let it go as far as it did to wipe them all out. i seriously doubt that it was used as a weapon.
Well good news Xen because I'll be the one developing the cures for this stuff later on down the road. You guys get first word when the shit will hit the fan. Get to intern at the CDC next year.
plague,ebola,aids,haunta,avian too many to list coming from Africa. karma police? if it is true it would be contained,and a threat of it getting over here ,the trip would kill the carrier.I'm more concerned about the different country's that have training camps.will the fist stay closed?unity for the world? what about all the proxy wars?theres gonna be a big problem,if corridors open for air strikes.Hamas is funded by Iran.Pakistan is a big player and so is Iran,Israel already asked for US permission for corridor to Iran via Iraq,they were turned down. they hit Syria's nuke plant instead. 21st century should be higher plane of thought,in all leaders minds,the aggressor in that costs the lives of hundreds to thousands,and sadly millions,their beneath human,and everyday people like us want the same.if two leaders have a problem,put them in a UFC ring,get the lawyers to settle Terms of the fight,cause the human race has done this for WAY TO LONG! What we got to stand up-right and went to war? time for a break? I also say : in the spirit of all things live and lived, they will pay in a way we cannot comprehend now.if world law is that freedom is universal No country would need to invade another in a balanced world, and without leaders that have the mindset to destroy life human, animal or global .,Money has ruled the planet in way it might not recover ,Big Business leaders have a big price to pay,industrial revolution to present.once again the few dictate to the masses an unbalanced naive way of thinking,the 21st century is the dawn of something else?who nows what?clean energy and no war? or all out war and no energy? Obama is going to have allot on his plate, thats for sure. OsAma has no religion for what he did,he's living in a mirage of it,no religion any where in the world condones what he did,or what he stands for. He's in the same class as Hitler. demonic. spec\out Next topic:ref to ARMA2 post- World Server Combat System? countries settle differences in GLOBAL CYBER WAR SIM- they fight it out in cyber-space directed by UN or global committee like TWL or CAL... Some one can pick this one up. VBS2 is on the road to that. LOL! when ARMAGEDDON comes we're gonna meet @ FRAGS ranch in TEXAS,I'll be coming from Canada on horseback so gimme 3 weeks. ({x}) divisions called up to defend spec\out*2
