| Samus Aran said: Actually the damages wouldn't be extremely high. There have been a lot of pandemic outbreaks were millions of people died, but there's almost no example in history were diseases killed of an entire race. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment are the Inca's and the Aztecs, but even they didn't completely die off. Birth rate is so high in some places that it could easily buffer against 100million dead people. |
I'm sorry, did you just say
A. Extremely high damages means the whole of the human race?
B. It wouldn't be a disaster if 100 million people died because we could replace them?
Extremely high damages with is a case where a disease would kill millions; the whole human race would be another level altogether (catastrophic). Not one person in this thread has claimed that Swine flu will wipe out the human race, but many have acknowledged that it poses a risk of death to millions.
