Not biological warfare, just wars, humanity is still armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons. And ebola-level threats can rise on their own without warfare.

- wongarsu 7y agoHowever we are fairly good at containing ebola-level threats. Sure, the ebola outbreak of 2014 shut down three countries and required a big international effort to clean up, but in the end only 11300 people died. Killing humanity would require a lot worse. All out nuclear war would be pretty bad and might end humanity, but US and Russia have a well practised routine of interference and proxy wars that gives aggression a less deadly outlet, and the other potential match-ups like India-Pakistan or Israel-Iran would be very localized.
