The zombie apocalypse is upon us.

good thing im in space...no zombies here

Unfortunately, or fortunately, the dead will not rise.
I am expecting more mutations of this virus as it infects more and more people. All of them more virulent than this one you hear about now.

I have read some history books, and everybody knows plagues attacked the society of man and leaved big impact on it. And what I know from books, history likes to repeat itself.

Scientists claim, that Ebola is spreading and killing too fast to mutate, but we are yet to find about the future.
As scientists say less (because they are science people, and carefull about their status as a scientist) than any insignificant prophet can imagine and throw at the people, that is why even the most absurd prediction about plague (well, mine is to some extend absurd) could be accurate.
I would not really back it up with arguments other than that I have seen some words in history books. I know about state of the medicine in the past, and I know, there is something unpredictable in mutations, no one can predict it really, its too many variables to model in a head like mine. Like, what people it will infect, and do those people would have certain viruses themselves, like aids (common in africa), or cold? What interactions between those two viruses will occur, when they get together into one body and start reproducing? Nobody made experiments on humans, its happening live against our will already. "Planet laboratory" will continue after short mass extinction...?
