It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. They have feared the repeat of the 1918 pandemic for years. When a similar virus happens it will spread so quickly due to modern transportation that the effects will be catastophic.
The world economy will slow, millions will die, if it is like the 1918 strain age and health will not be an issue, that virus was indiscriminate. It will be a question of vaccine creation, never easy because of the lead time required, luck and genetics who lives and who dies.
In the grand scheme of things getting rid of a few hundred million humans will help the earth regenerate! Housing prices will drop too!
