Renowned Scientist: Bird Flu will kill 50% of humanity

Am I the only one who would like some evidence for this? If all they have is 'this could happen, you should start building another Ark now', then I'm going to treat it as nothing more then fear mongering.


It's interesting, but it would be more interesting if it explained how he reached those figures.

I doubt he's fear mongering. He probably feels that this is a very real danger and just wants people to be prepared. He is a well known scientist.

I doubt the 10%/50% would be evenly distributed. I imagine china and india would get hit worst. I'd say Japan but they're already anal about wearing face masks all the time.



I just looked it up and 20% of the world caught influenza during the 1918 pandemic. The mortality rate was something like 2.5% though. 20-40 million died.
