Lots of places do it. It's very common. Birmingham University has a few dangerous diseases including the cause of Black Death.

Not according to that story:
The Department for Health said the test on the elderly woman, who landed at Gatwick Airport, came back negative on Sunday afternoon.

You're not supposed to read the article. You're supposed to run around in a panic after reading the headline.

Some scientists recon that there has been many world wide human culls from disease or natural disasters because the gene pool is much smaller than it should be.

Certainly is in Buxton!

Blimey what a cheery bunch you lot are! Thomas Malthus proposed just similar scenorios in 1798....216 years later we're still waiting for this domesday scenario...I don't buy it myself, humans are infinitely cunning and adaptable - we'll find a way to survive.

I was hoping for some kind of zombie plague (that I am immune to) so I can break into the ferrarri and lambo shops and pinch a car. Then drive them round into zombie hordes in some kind of car skittles game.

Sadly I'm in the camp that thinks it is not being taken seriously enough.

It will spread unless all travel in the affected areas is locked down. It may be too late for that to be possible even now.

It only takes one in a city for it to spread quickly as they are too densely populated.
