Not just a fearmonger, but a shitty one to boot. At least go read the wikipedia article on what mutations are before you spout it out while making 'wooooooooo' noises and waggling your fingers.

Oh god, I wanted to reply with something that makes fun of your fear mongering, but it appears I've been ninja'd.

The 1918 flu epidemic infected 500 million people, and killed about 50-100 million of those.

Did the world end?

No!

Okay. However, I don't think the media would overshoot. Wouldn't that just scare people? If anything, the real number could be higher. (Which it most likely isn't.)

According to WHO, one million people will only be affected if people stop trying to combat Ebola. Ebola is obviously quite serious, but this is blowing it way out of proportion.

Yes, yes. Nice observation. Still, that's a lot of people. Almost all of Mexico's present population would be dead, to give you an idea.

Well, you never know. This isn't the point though. I was talking about a pandemic much similar (in numbers) to the 1918 Spanish Influenza.

No, I do. Any aid or help going to Africa would have to stop, all researching and making of vaccinations would cease, and government action to keep the infected civilians away from healthy ones would have to halt.

Like, we would literally have to make an attempt at getting Ebola to spread.

Putting the infected in hospitals away from the healthy isn't going to "risk everyone" :roll:

Interesting. Well, clearly not yet. One thousand cases in just one month. We really didn't make an attempt to spread Ebola.

Are you kidding me? I said that if Ebola were theoretically to cause a "pandemic", we would have to attempt to let it spread easily.

Well, of course we'll get over it. We always win. Obviously you didn't read... "Countries like China have certain parts with very limited and poor healthcare, which is the key factor in the spread of Ebola."

I still think a drastic approach is the best approach in a possible pandemic scenario. Do whatever it takes to exterminate while working on a cure.
