It would appear the greatest danger in the world is not the classic flu strains which we can identify and are poised to monitor. It is the new strains being posted on in the news here. Probably, one of the worst scenarios is a flu strain which we have no tests for and could elude all of our current tests and has a 50% mortality rate.

Obviously if it is in Texas, it is in other places as well. How would our current ailing health care system deal with such a virus. It wouldn't. It is challenged enough by the ones which we can identify.  So, I want to begin a discussion of this as well  as a composite topic which will compare and give more information on multiple strains of viruses and bacteria.

Norovirus and the 2009 H1N1 seemed to occur together in some patients in hospitals. The point here is that the next Pandemic is likely to include multiple viruses. This kind of one-two-knockout punch would take down a lot of people.

Much research needs to be done here and it will be over time, but as the 2013-2014 Flu season evolves it appears the long war of viruses against antivirals is being lost. Some strains are resistant to most of our antiviral drugs.

At the same time, a new generation of children who have no immunity to smallpox, polio, and cholera, may be hit hard. With a pantheon of old enemies including West Nile Virus which is transmitted mostly by mosquitoes, is hitting the South and spreading northwards in the United States. New breeds of cold resistant mosquitoes present a major problem.

The illusion to the Ashen/Pale Horse is from the Bible. The Fourth Seal - Revelations 6:8

8I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The Pandemic of 2009 was primarily one virus. The next Pandemic may be be legion -- with many.
