[charlie and algernon]

12. that could be horrific

forget swine flu or avian flu, a lethal Ebola strain that's airborne will do some serious fucking damage to the human race.


From The Hot Zone:
"Ebola Reston may be, in fact, the most dangerous of all the filovirus sisters, because of its seeming ability to travel rather easily through the air...A tiny change in its genetic code, and it might turn into a cough and take out the human race....The experts do not doubt that a virus can hop around the world in a matter of days" [The Hot Zone, pp. 370-371].
