but how bad can it get really? I can see this potentially being an issue in bigger cities.
"Spanish flu" which started in KS was only that bad because of WWI and how close all those folks interacted at the time. That was also over 100 years ago. Plus, the lack of media coverage really helped exacerbate that problem.
We arent exactly eating wolf pups and civets over here....

So, you think a disease spread more easily in 1917 than it will now... when over half of the world's population lives in an urban area?

That's why it all depends on the transmission... how it's spread and how contagious it is... Spanish Flu was extremely contagious, and I think the mortality rate was about 15%?
A comparable pandemic could EASILY occur, even with our advanced, modern medicine.
