That is a interesting idea.

I don't exactly buy into it, but if you want to sow fear into people/thin the population for whichever nefarious purpose may/may not exist, then a highly contagious disease is a good way.

Kill the people and leave the property/resources, much more effective than a bomb or something equally destructive.

Kind of off topic: Is your avatar related to the 'Black Death' in some way?

I seem to remember that certain people would wear masks with long, white, beak-like masks to try and filter the air or something else to that degree.

I have been wondering for awhile now (whenever I see a post by you) and with the word 'plague' in the thread title I figured now was good to ask.

I just finished watching "Right at your door". This was a very disturbing yet realistic movie about an event like 9/11 only with dirty bombs in LA where most of the city had to be quarantined. The most interesting thing about it, I can't say without spoiling the ending, but let's just say that it brought life to what we have seen recently in the mock war games scenarios of a biological weapon being unleashed on the public and the reality and consequences of what would happen in real life. I definitely reccomend watching this film, it could save your life.

Plagues are cyclical things that strike humanity with pretty reliable regularity. It's like a natural mechanism to prevent overpopulation.

I watched a movie last night called The Happening.
There was something released (They assumed by the Gov) that made people disoriented and then kill themselves ....
Was a very strange movie .

Yes something like that ....

I didnt really get it ...because they never really found out what happened and why or who did it ..it sort of left it for us to figure out ...maybe a part 2 is on the way ...
