As public health officials struggle to contain the Zika virus, science writer Sonia Shah tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies that epidemiologists are bracing themselves for what has been called the next "Big One" — a disease that could kill tens of millions of people in the coming years.
Citing a 2006 survey, Shah says, "the majority of ... pandemic experts of all kinds, felt that a pandemic that would sicken a billion people, kill 165 million people and cost the global economy about $3 trillion would occur sometime in the next two generations."

We are due for some population control in all reality.

The Earth is a biological system, human over-population gets check-mated by Mother Nature. Sad but fact.
tl/dr- Nature? You a muthafricka!

Between this, potentially being in the time frame for the next Yellowstone Caldera eruption, and those sharks they found swimming in an active undersea volcano a few months ago what a time to be alive!!

Yeah, in actuality the culling of our species is a happy thing. What's sad about potentially losing 100+ million lives, possibly friends and relatives? Prick.

It all sounds like "nature" until it's your family.
Sort of like warmongering, as long as it's the neighbor's boy doing the fighting and not your's.

Uhh it is an actual question. I deal with deadly disease daily. I feel my mom was taken too early by cancer at 57. Everyone's description is different.

Sure, we should frame global pandemic issues about your Mom's departure date.

Our Alien creators have to thin the heard every few thousand years, or God has said it in the Bible, or Ghia has had enough.
