Horrible thought - given the nature of this disease (kills aged 50+, very infectious) and the demographic of US leadership on all sides... what impact might this have on the dynamics of US politics?
(edited to clarify)
- onetimemanytime 7y agoWhy is it horrible thought though? USA has 300+ Million people and a tested and well thought Constitution in place. We'll survive it...
- ericlewis 7y agoThe powers that be have access to healthcare the masses could only see in a glint of their eye.

- simonh 7y agoIt kills about 2% of those infected, and about 30% of the population are over 50 so it might kill very roughly 6% of those over 50. Most of those will be the quite elderly and infirm though, most people active in their 50s and 60s should be ok although of course lightning can strike where it will. I'm in the UK but the demographics are pretty similar. I'm not too worried for myself in my mid 50s, but have real concerns for my wife's parents and my mother.
