Looking at the Black Death of the 1300′s, lets say 75 million of the world’s +/- 500 million people were killed, that’s still only 15%. AIDS has only killed 25 million. Smallpox did a little better with a ballpark estimate of 300-500 million.

Many of those deaths happened when our medical knowledge was not too great, so you kind of have to assume those were ‘best case scenarios’ so to speak. In modern times, what are the odds of a disease taking out a billion people or so? Something along the lines of Stephen King’s The Stand perhaps.

Help with Anxiety

If someone with aids bleeds on a dog who had a cut, can they get aids? and if say, that dog bites a person, would that person that dog bites get aids?

Help with Angina

Would the economy be suffering from a flu? AIDS? Syphilis? What’s the most accurate metaphor?

And in this current crisis, what are the best ways I can make my checks stretch like giraffe necks? Thanks!

Anxiety Cure?

May sound weird to ask, but I need to find a very grotesque disease with no cure for school work. It can be as rare as a monarch butterfly in Antartica, but I need one. It could even be extinct, I just need something without a cure and something particularly distructive to the body. Nothing caused by radiation please…
Please don’t say AIDS or Lupus, they have already been taken…

Researching the internet did not satisfy this question neither talking to an actual college professor,

Note: I am asking given that this major is on my number one career choice before lift off to college this `08 fall.

Please respond.

Angina Help

Preferably a charity that doesn’t just fund one type of research, as in AIDS, but a multitude of research projects. Also, is this charity tax deductible?

Diabetes Guide

I wish I could be reincarnated as a disease like AIDS after I die so I could help rid the world of overpopulation and save the human race from its imminent destruction if overpopulation goes on. There needs to be a balance in the world, and since people are unfortunately living longer now because of medicine and that is causing overpopulation, people need to die to make up for those people living.

I am thinking of writing a book addressing the effects of disease on the individual. I am looking for personal stories from individuals. It can be a first person account or a story from a friend, etc. Please email stories to the email address given and I will chose the ones that I wish to use. I welcome stories from both men and women. I will be looking for stories that focus on diseases that have an impact on the individual and the whole group. Examples, cancer, AIDS/HIV, STD’s, etc. You need not include your name, in fact anonymous info is understood. Please supply a current email so I can contact you if I decide to use your story.
