Ok people, this is totally true and it's referring to the flu. It's not predicting next year to be any more deadly than usual.
It kills 250-500k people every year on average worldwide. Not just in places with poor health systems. 3 500 people died in Canada last year alone from the flu and we have free vaccinations and there's no need to avoid hospitals/doctors since there's no money exchanged.
A particularly violent strain of the flu in 1918 - The Spanish Influenza - managed to kill 20-50 million people over a span of two years.
Black plague managed to kill 50-200 million over a much longer period of time (I think it peaked around a whole decade).
The article is just mocking people who are freaking out over Ebola when the ordinary flu kills so many people each year and no one even bats an eye. So pretty much everyone freaking out in this thread...
not when i am going to England for My abroad semester ... I am scared
God help us all
