We're All Doomed...

Something will get the Human Race, in many cases we have been fortunate to adapt and the survival of the fittest means that we survive as a species...allowing for environmental or natural disasters but in recent years there have been scares with the threat of swine flu, bird flu, Sars and whatever else.

Towards the end of last year our Government like many around the world ordered extra drugs to try and stop or delay the population getting swine flu(and drug companies tried to make a vaccine to kill swine flu specifically designed for the purpose)

The epidemic didn't happen(though some sadly did die of it)or complications because of other medical problems these individuals already had but overall the conclusion was that ordinary flu is as dangerous or more so.

So quietly over a number of years(I had never heard of it)and seeming since the 1930's there has been a disease that can be passed between Humans and animals and it can jump from Human to Human. Again most people survive but an outbreak in the Netherlands in the last few months has seen over two thousand cases and thousands of these animals slaughtered.

There have been cases in America and Australia.

It is known as Q Fever and the animal causing concern is the Goat.

Some years ago another highly contagious disease, Ebola was being mentioned and that has been a worry for years often killing those that try to treat victims of it and though not reported in the media for a long time, I assume it is still a cause for concern.

So there is always something coming along as the next threat.
