You've seen the. movie... all it takes is for someone infected to get on a plane.

Yeh but what are the chances of that happening? I wish I understood the math of probability better as I expect you could work it out.
One wonders why there are not more massive outbreaks of something or the other given the number of planes flying so many people everywhere. Although I guess folk get sick and decide not to go or death cancels their flight.
Imagine if a new something appeared that we did not know how it was transmitted like back in the times of the black death they did know that fleas were responsible...bed bugs could be the next carrier...and they are out there..I am not going out until the coast is clear.

This one kills most all its hosts quite quickly Alex, the flue hangs around slowly spreading and is much more sucessfull.


Still spreading into populated areas must be huge worry for health officials.
