Unfortunately they don't seem very good at doing things in a timely manner. This could have been dealt with much easier back when it was thought to be an African problem instead of a humanity problem.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-40499871729965185802014-10-02T16:26:15.255-04:002014-10-02T16:26:15.255-04:00Doesn't seem to take much for the bad stuff to...Doesn't seem to take much for the bad stuff to get started.

That's why it's so important to get it stamped out when it's in the low numbers.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-21160303995155952152014-10-02T07:01:46.781-04:002014-10-02T07:01:46.781-04:00It could be very uneven -one way or the other.

Half the farmers and ranchers growing the food, with half the amount of truck drivers / delivery persons doing their job. Population centers would have to shrink fast - a hydroelectric dam (I don't think) can store up electricity for future use. Its used up or ???.<br /><br />Gives someone a lot to think about.<br /><br />When I was much younger, I asked Dad why Jonas' Salk polio vaccine was such a miracle. He looked at me for a few moments, then said 'Boy, you don't know what it was like. You could stand at a street corner and looking the four directions, count a polio victim within a street block in each direction. Your Christmas school vacation often had the news that a someone you knew had died of polio during the break.' And other stuff like that.<br /> <br />Ebola in the U.S. - a Slate Wiper by any other name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-38398153748906735212014-10-02T06:13:52.906-04:002014-10-02T06:13:52.906-04:00I guess it depends on who survives - the builders ...I guess it depends on who survives - the builders or the destroyers.
