[562056961108]

Grab your Mayan Calendars folks, looks like we have a credible threat to the species...

and it ain't an asteroid.

On the real though, this is the kind of thing that can wipe out the planet... containment in India is next to impossible too, considering it's home to 1/6th of the world population. Glad I live far, far away in the states.

Fuck me...... Again first it was zombies. Now this! Damnit.

 

[Dragonite.]

Fuck that's actually really concerning

 

[theBearJew]

Im sorry, I cant seem to find mine

 

[ThundaKilla]

This

I thought it was more zombies.

 

[Flying~Squirrel]

except both calendars are based on the number of revolutions around the sun, not the number of days in a year. your argument is false.

[.Hugo.]

Nuke em. It's the only way to contain it.

 

[Orrin]

Not so fast. Going on evidence from Hollywood blockbusters, if a doomsday event does occur, it will surely happen in the USA because it's the centre of the Earth.

Hehe just kidding..

..maybe.

 

[Spinoza]

dnr, I got my tb shot am I safe?

 

[Peter.]

this is old news, XDR TB has been around since i was in 9th grade, i'm going into my junior year in highschool now

 

[.Hugo.]

No one is safe

 

[Spinoza]

Dammit I hate finding out members like this are that young

 

[daannnnieel]

so a whole two years?

 

[Rachy]

Time to bring back the Sanatorium (video... kinda relevant)

 

[FuckAllOfYou]

like all other doomsday things, this has happened before... The black plague, duh. Maybe the plague was curable, but not to them. Same effect now. Although, people are much more mobile these days... it could spread faster but people ACTUALLY care about TB.

 

[Peter.]

fuck shit i meant to say college.. damnit now i look like im 17

 

[PhaedeD]

 

[Flacko]

i was going to say 2-3 years isn't that old

 

[Spinoza]

I hope it only wipes out people with lazy eyes

 

[Peter.]

hahaha i know but yeah we learned about it in 9th grade, so 6 years ago? and the article didn't list that many cases anyway, so no need to fear

 

[ImNotARacist]

beat me to it.
