I like the direction of this argument GM. The more I read about this situation the more it is evident that the majority of fatalities are a result of over indulgence and greed in the developed world: from de-forestation, to gross over eating and the diseases it creates.

Why aren't we all tested for colds or flu? Because it would be STUPID. Why haven't we locked down to stop the MORONIC last variant? Because it would be STUPID. Why are we stopping people from travelling? Because it's STUPID. Infectious diseases will spread globally. Don't try to stop them. Treat them. Protect the vulnerable.
