You're even more cold hearted then I am
.
I agree that we could do with a billion or so less of us on this planet but uncontrolled deceases like these have the potential to kill off the entire planet in less then 2 years.
It seems this particular one is being handled since not everyone infected has actually died from it and some have even already recovered.
The only reason I'm concerned about this is because stuff like this can change the planet, the life we're used to. Should this thing mutate once more and kill off another 200 million people like it did in 1918 the world will change quite a bit, my friend. Even if you survive, the world you get dumped in might not be a nice one.
