We aren't ready for what's coming

I'm prepped for many things but not this.

Clade X

A deadly disease with the potential to cause widespread loss of life around the world is coming. Whether it's manufactured or jumps to humans after spreading in animal species, that's considered a fact by infectious disease and bioterror experts.

• The Clade X simulation, created by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, shows how vulnerable the world is to the spread of a pandemic virus.
• In that simulation, political experts from the US tried to figure out how to respond to the emergence of a new and deadly disease.
• Despite being a "moderately contagious" and "moderately lethal" virus, at the end of the day — 20 months in simulated time — the virus would have killed 150 million people.
• According to the scenario's creator, if efforts to create a vaccine continued to fail, a disease like that could kill 900 million, or more than 10% of the global population.

The thing about simulations is they aren't real....

They are very dependent upon the variables one puts into them. Some variables are very subjective or unrealistic.

Anyway, sounds like a variation of the zombie apocalypse to me.

Marines and other forces have done Zombie FTX's in the past.

The worst thing about the zombie apocalypse is pretending i'm not kind of excited about it

Just one more reason why I live in a little town far away from any big cities. I have non perishable food stores, my own water well, my own septic system, my own electricity if needed, even wood to burn and a wood stove if needed. I hope I could survive for at least a few months without having to go anywhere.
