Yeah it was sloppy. Too sloppy to support a hypothesis, for sure, but
not too sloppy to knock one down.
More to Keith Henson's original point however, I am positively
grateful that thanks to science, technology, and communication we have
decent odds to actually CONTAIN a plague of biblical proportions. One
that a mere 30 years ago, when I was high school student, could have
easily killed fully a third of the world.
We live in an age of miracles, people:
