Did he give any backing to that claim or is it going to be another ZOMG swine flu/avian flu/Large Hadron Collider Flu will kill us all sort of thing?

Dr.Sholes Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 He said swine flu didn't live up to the expectations but since we haven't had one in so long it will probably happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 He said swine flu didn't live up to the expectations but since we haven't had one in so long it will probably happen. Because probably always meant "will happen." Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikethfc Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm still skeptical over this, most communicable diseases can only really propagate themselves if the living conditions there are poor living conditions, the state of prevntative healthcare in advanced sociteies tends to be too great for these diseases to have much effect. Unless there's some sort of major famine I don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 It will either happen or it won't, so there's a 50/50 chance, right? Not such bad odds :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 It's a brand new day and the sun is high All the birds are singing cause you're gonna die Then I hesitated, now I wonder why It's a brand new day --Oh, you meant going to die without me killing you?

Esau of Isaac Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 It will either happen or it won't, so there's a 50/50 chance, right? Not such bad odds :D. Well, no. We can say there is a 50/50 chance of the event occurring only so long as we haven't accounted for the actual likelihood of either happening. Just because there are only two possibilities does not mean that the possibility of the event happening is evenly split between the two. For example, the possibility of rolling a 3 or not rolling a 3 on any given six-sided die. Despite the fact that there are only two outcomes, one is far more likely to happen. That said, I doubt the Black Plague will be that which will kill off much of the United States' population, when it eventually happens in however far ahead we go down the timeline. There was a big scare about that like fifteen years ago on the news, your teacher probably remembered all of the attention it got and just repeated it through all the years.
