Huge problem, yes.
A huge problem that we may all experience by merely coexisting, no.
But PLEASE sound the alarm when the government finishes developing that AIDS mosquito.

@Cheerful--if there EVER was a heinous virus or infection that murdered gajillions of people over broad ranges of climates and Earth with other elements, you had better believe the current policy is a "Scorched Earth Policy" with studies 500 feet below the Earth with the BEST minds on Earth...
The odds? I professionally think that humans are genetically diverse enough that there will be a few survivors to allow for reproduction and procreation.
@Daemond--HIV infects broadly in Africa because women have ZERO control over their sexuality and bodies. Women are brutalized, raped and demeaned so bad, that they would prefer to commit suicide, than to suffer the inhumanity they have suffered... As long as it is thought to be normal to stick guns up women's and girls' vaginas and anuses, then the transmission on HIV will continue...

I think I may be misunderstanding you, but are you saying that a collapse of civilization is impossible? You're saying that we would be able to come out of this, correct?

Civilization as we know it will collapse eventually, inevitably. It has happened before throughout history. Has it happened to humans due to infectious diseases? I would not say that it has, completely and somehow, humans have managed to scrape by when it comes to these things... It is thought that the ONLY mass human extinctions thought to occur to a group of human beings was smallpox... Variola vera, is highly contagious, but it does not stop procreation and reproduction. There are viruses out there that can stop procreation and reproduction, however, the problems associated with the infection occurs after those processes are needed, making it a chronic disease of aging. Namely, human papilloma virus and syphillis.
Now, if "the powers that be" genetically modified smallpox to a crazy more infectious agent without possible treatment options, then yes, we humans would not get through that onslaught, MAYBE...

Thanks for explaining that to me.
