    Is Huwai the least of our problems?

    5G technology and LED streetlights will kill us all apparently.

    Usual conspiracy carp or is there something in it?

    Yep, and who knows if we'll all still be alive in 100 years time.

      nah, we are more likely to succumb to those millions of bugs that seem determined to mutate to thwart our efforts to destroy them.

          It's interesting to note that not everyone succumbed to the black death. The inhabitants of Eyam in Derbyshire managed to contain an outbreak there and the Emperor Justinian survived an infection and recovered. Also when the outbreak in Marseille was investigated, it was noticed that contemporary paintings often showed that livery people were involved in handling the dead. Further investigation concluded that the smell of dubbin had repelled the fleas that carried the plague. We are all now aware of the 1919 flu pandemic which killed more than died in WW1. There have apparently been three periods in human history when our species has been near to extinction but we survived. So I guess we could conclude that today's population is pretty robust!

            Yeah course they are. Nothing to do with modern medicine at all.

            Looking at how today's men handle a dose of the cold I'd conclude quite the opposite.

              With over 7 billion to infect, sommat will come along sooner or later.

              Hence the twitchiness over ebola, marberg, green monkey disease and lassa fever.

              It's being so cheerful that keeps me going.

              That and watching "Survivors"* or "Jeremiah".
