    It's cureable so long as you get fast treatment (within 24hrs), so I don't think it will be a huge issue tbh.

    Strange how the world is in recession with a lot of unemployment, and the odd lethal disease or two pops out of the woodwork.:eek:

    A bit cynical there, but fair enough it's an ill wind and all that.

    large sections of the population have been reported going around repeating
    ''richard of york gained battles in vain'' in the latest outbreak of the mnemonic
    plague.

    How'd they seal it off? I'm imagining a giant glass dome a la The Simpsons Movie. Now that'd be something to see.

    Maybe they are re-enacting the film "Outbreak" (Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman).

    The handy thing about diseases that kill that fast is that they are bloody hard to spread. Its the ones that dont show up for weeks but still kill you are the ones you have to worry about.
    I dont know why people think the fast ones are the worst ones.

    Considering the fact that it is 'Highly Contagious', I'm led to believe this can indeed spread fast easily.

    It would be badly dubbed and called Outbleak 2.

    Yes but it kills too fast to go worldwide. All they have to do is seal off an area. If this killed you in 7 days for instance then they would be very hard pressed to stop it as they would be unable to contain it.

    During the Black Death, one of the forms was pneumonic(amongst two others). That spread far and fast!
