If it goes global, and it probably will, expect a very large recession, perhaps like the 1929 stock market crash. Schools will close, businesses will close, no manufacturing, grocery stores closed, no fuel, no truck drivers delivering fuel/food/goods, people out of food, civil unrest. Basically, this can be the worst catastrophe the world has seen in a very long time.
We will know in a few weeks/months, how bad it is. Depending how bad it gets you might even see entire countries collapse and smaller war lords in control of certain areas, like what you see in Somalia.
Dude, the common FLU virus kills far more in the US than any of the previous virus outbreaks have; this one included. I believe your commentary is totally irresponsible. Hey, as stated by politicians so it must be true, we have 10 years left on earth if we don't fix the climate!!
