    All dead in a few hours

    No country is fully prepared for the next deadly pandemic, report finds | Daily Mail Online

    No country is fully equipped to deal with the next global pandemic, a major report has claimed.

    Scientists say an outbreak of a flu-like illness could sweep across the planet in 36 hours and kill tens of millions due to our constantly-travelling population.

    But a review of health care systems already in place across the world found just 13 countries had the resources to put up a fight against an 'inevitable' pandemic.

    .
    TOP 10 COUNTRIES BEST PREPARED

    United States - 83.5

    United Kingdom - 77.9

    Holland - 75.6

    Australia - 75.5

    Canada - 75.3

    Thailand - 73.2

    Sweden - 72.1

    Denmark - 70.4

    South Korea - 70.2

    Finland - 68.7

    That's most of the EU fooked then.

      The world would be a much nicer and cheaper place with three quarters of the global population fecked orf, and would give the environment a respite (as the Black Death did).

      Bring it on I say, as long I'm one of the survivors naturally!

            Getting rid of 5 billion would return "us" to the 1950s.

            Didn't that Zeity guy have some sort of Cunning Plan for doing it?

              Do we get better suits and bowler hats back?

                Something to do with eating them, wasn't it?
                His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                    Be better than those stupid flat caps that seem to be fashionable with the jihadi bearded ones.
