The reason why Captain Trips spreads so far in the book (or the TV show? I forget) is because once the US realizes that there is absolutely no way they can contain it and it's going to utterly devastate the population they load passenger jets with ~chem trails~ and spray China/Russia to ensure they also get infected.quote:Before stepping down Starkey orders that the command "Rome falls" be issued to covert U.S. operatives overseas. All of these operatives have been issued vials of the superflu; on command, they will release the disease on other continents, in order to obscure its true point of origin. This act completely destroys any chance of containing the superflu and ensures the near-extinction of all mankind. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:Let's say it's straight-up Ebola, except it's gone airborne. 50% mortality, week-long incubation (so the knowledge of an airborne version of ebola isn't known for a week). The scariest disease for humans is not Ebola, it's rabies. Basically 100% lethality with a giant lead time before it kills you, only consolation is the fact that it pretty much transmits only in saliva so knowing you need a vaccine is obvious.

Helsing posted:Oh right. The gritty and realistic book by Mel Brook's kid where plucky misunderstood Israel expends significant resources in the midst of a global crisis to save save Palestinians from a global zombie epidemic. To be fair the ultra-orthodox (and them losing because they have no military experience) being the source of an Israeli civil war is the most realistic plot point there.
