At the current rate, we'll be at 14 billion people by 2060.

The rate is falling though. It really comes down to how quickly Africa and SE Asia/ India develop

Wow. 300,000? Where? I know it fizzled out here.

mostly asia.


it's also worth noting that these were only lab-confirmed deaths... the actual death toll is though to be closer to 600,000.

10-15k american dead.

Well...this is a complicated topic. For two reaons I'm pretty positive such a thing would never happen again: 1) The manufactured attempts of modified virus' in laboratories with the intention of pandemic have failed, which says a lot...and 2) We will soon be living in a new paradigm where virus' and sickness of any kind will no longer exist. After our ascension into 5D we will be illness-proof.

We don't really know that. Who knows what scientist have found in labs like Plum Island. You think they would tell the whole world?

besides the point that in 09 we had a natural flu pandemic that killed nearly 300,000 people... that happened naturally... viruses are pretty adaptable... far more so than we are... regardless of what you think is possible in a lab... it's happened naturally throughout history.

Are you talking about H1N1? That virus was developed in a science lab.

Nah I wouldnt think so...I thought we were talking more along the lines of a global pandemic...or something akin to the Black Plague.

Well I guess technically it was to an extent. I thought we were talking in the many millions though...not a measley 300,000.

Prosperity is nature's best birth control. Not simply helping the poor, but truly lifting people and countries out of poverty.
