H1N1

This Type 1 influenza, H1n1 scares me a bit as well, not just the exams.
New Zealand is affected with one recognized case, there are suspected cases in Australia, UK also and there are more than worrying number of patients in United States.
However, Mexico faces the worst nightmare-with 118 deaths and counting- may God bless them.
Even WHO has raised the alarm to level 5- one level below the pandemic level, which makes this disease a serious problem .
I don't know how MARA would respond to this if the problem persists.
I don't know how we will respond if there's really a pandemic falling upon us soon.
With global economy problem, polluted earth, the rise of hedonism and liberalism, and this H1n1 issue, I am seriously wondering;
"God, is it the time now? Is the world really falling apart this time?"
Human are like parasites, even when millions have died, our civilization still thrives on, we did start over from scratch. Yet, I wonder if we will be lucky this time around, again.

(Trivia: Spanish Flu [an early subtype of H1N1] in 1918 killed 20-100 MILLION people, the H5N1 Avian Influenza killed 248 as of January 2009 [WHO] )
