In some instances, these superbugs kill up to 50 percent of patients who become infected.

So the human body can stop these various bugs. Figure out how that works, BANG, taken care of. Honestly, and I wouldn't wish death on anyone, but there are too many people around anyway and most of them suck. I'm not that bothered by the concept of 50% of them going away. It would be messy, but a pandemic that wipes out that many people would be a real job creator.

Lol. I found your post amusing. And yes, I agree with the sentiment. I just hope I am on my last legs if/when it happens.

And a job destroyer as the world economy crumbles and everybody starves due to the lost infrastructure.

Now if we could pick the 50% then...

Oh good, it was in Pennsylvania as well. I don't put much (any) weight on articles like this but uhhhhh, who wants the BRZ and who wants the FiST?

That actually makes me happier. I'm a casual prepper and a loose social contract away from going road warrior. Any reason to rock a codpiece.

I think it's more like 90% according to the Georgia Guidestones.

I don't know if this was a serious, semi-serious or totally flippant question but I will take option two.

As per link it is from the Washington Post (and I have no idea how that publication is regarded over there) which references http://aac.asm.org

I think it is a bona-fide news article.

Yeah....
Holy shit batman where are they finding half retards to write these click bait b.s.?

To save everyone the useless 1minute read, they found one lady that could carry a the superbug. Buts it's treatable/ is being treated. That's all. The next 50 seconds worth of text is just "what if's" b.s.

Clearly click bait that targets the fears of the masses.
