Disaster, I kind of see where your coming from. I agree that it will still be treatable. Robitussin(?) and Ny-quil will probably still make it go away. The problem isn't that. Its that no one has an immunity to it. So, at some point, just about everyone is going to get it. And when very large numbers of people are sick, there are always a large number who are going to get killed by it. Its not some crazy untreatable disease, its a crazy highly contagious one.
