Two words: Ebola Pandemic




1918 flu. Ebola: 1500 dead; 1918: 50,000,000 - 100,000,000 dead

Ebola: 1,500+ dead so far, just appeared in two more countries. The
final score isn't even close to in yet. This Ebola strain seems to be
both more contagious and less lethal than previous outbreaks both of
which give it a lot more potential to spread. Combine that with the ease
of international travel these days and the Fat Lady isn't even warming
up yet.
