New Disease.


Likely to have some scary person right now working in a lab to create some new kind of disease that could easily dwindle the population down before specialists could even figure out what it was. If you think the idea of a whole society dying out over a disease they know about is scary, imaginethe wide spread panic that would come from society being wiped out by a disease they knew nothing about? You can call that hear say but Ebola did not exist in the 50s, it wasn’t discovered until 1976. Bet there is something just like that around the corner, but we’re really hoping not.
