What will the world be like if only 30% of us survive ebola?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 61700417 United States 10/14/2014 11:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	What will the world be like if only 30% of us survive ebola? Just curious, if 30% survive ebola in the US, that is about 100 million people. The amount could even be less, due to collateral damage, such as not being able to get medical care, getting shot by rioters, or what have you. So let's say there are about 50 million people left. Is 50 million people enough to keep basic government services functioning, such as electricity, water and military? Will there still be a government? Will there be media? Will large companies still exist, like Microsoft? Will large food companies still produce/supply food? Or, will people be back in the dark ages with nothing? I am thinking that some services and companies will still exist, but they will be severely cut back or intermittent. Any thoughts?

People should have consideration, decency, and respect. To know and understand what comes out of your mouth while speaking. "Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."

Getting from here to there is what presents the possibility for none of us making it. Our nuclear reactors must be manned and power must be available to them. If oil refining breaks down so does our ability to feed the people. Sure country folks will still be able to get enough calories to survive, but the city dwellers lacking in both arable land and know how will be in a bad spot. I am sure the healthcare system will be in shambles so every bug and disease will likely run wild when environmental factors such as no heating ability in winter, poor nutrition, and poor sanitation are accounted for. And my goodness. What do we do with 270,000,000 bodies?

(Assuming I'll survive of course.) Imagine all the jobs that will open up. Do you think they'll give a shit about my criminal record by then? Or my beard?

Quoting: RandomS It's plenty of land. A chicken coupe and chicken yard the size of your living room combined with a garden of 4000 square feet is plenty enough to feed a family.

Well following the black death it meant the poor could break free of the debt/poverty trap that kept them in servitude this in turn broke the feudal system of control. A similar consolodation via inheritence would also occur now with again the poorest being able to break free from modern debt dervitude and break the back of modern feudalism. So, this would not just be about more space, but literal freedom from debt for the masses, and an end to our debt based culture.

As pointed out, it depends on who survives. This place could be a paradise--or hell on earth. It also depends on what happens in central America. What if all of those people are immune? They will come in mass to make things even worse than they are today--barring the use of nukes. Too many variables to speculate on. We will just have to wait and see.
