History Channel - After Armageddon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r97xoSOEjM

This is a program that was aired in 2010 talked about what civilization would be like after a world-wide flu epidemic. There a lot of people commenting in between the dramatization scenes. I'm wondering if their opinion has any truth behind it in terms of the sequence of events? Anyone have a differing opinion on what would transpire in the case that they present there.

You can cycle through the parts by changing the numbers.

I mean, immunology dictates that there is antigenic drift, that is why you have to get flu shots every year because the epitope changes. There is a vaccine in development that helps target the invariable part of the virus but it is still far off and the sample size that they had was too small.

What I'm asking about is would the events transpire as they way it is placed in the program?

Read the referenced thread before asking again.

You will do well to read and understand the context of others post, and not post irreverent and non-informative quips of little value..

This and your introduction, show less than conscious effort in your ability to communicate and a total lack of SA.

I predict the only space you'll dominate in the near future is a 2 x 2 foot square in the hallway under your rucksack if you don't start recognizing the advice being thrown your way.
