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

    Swine Flu is probably just a Red Herring and a way of preemptively preparing for a plague.
    "Without treatment, the mortality rate from pneumonic plague approaches 100%"

    oh man :D

    Suprisingly haven't seen this on the news on TV. Only watched headlines, but I'd have thought it would be there.

    That's bubonic...pneumonic is air borne...which begs the question; where did the initial case get infected and how?

    i think it crops up in china every now and then, its probably something to do with poor sanitary conditions and overcrowding

    My Z Day plan is ready to be brought into action at the drop of a hat. Shotguns, shells, headlights, spare bulbs, barrels of petrol. I've reported a bomb on the HSS so it won't be leaving Dun Laoire port for several days. Can't be too careful. The worst thing to do is to relax
