Let's say there are 7 billion people on earth, and all of them are exposed. That's a possibility, since everyone infected will spread the disease before they show symptoms. Even if they don't get sick, they'll be carriers.
That's 210,000,000 dead. More than the Spanish flu or the bubonic plague. More than the population of some large countries.
Fuck.
Yeah and to think it couldn't happen would be...
Foolish.
We want to believe that everything will stay the same, nothing will change, we'll get to tick along and do what we like doing for the rest of our lives, but alas...
Even as far as we are into this situation, it has become very clear that society is held together by a very thin and ever unraveling thread.
