When Godzilla raged through Tokyo and New York bodycounters.com compiled a total death count as a little over 10,000. Terminator ranks at the top with over 3 billion.
Real life can pile up serious numbers.
The World Wars reigned death across the planet in the millions. The Black Plague wiped out a third of Europe and the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1919 killed over 20 million across the globe. No one has yet to compute the toll of the European expansion, but the final tally has to be in the billions.
Thousands of civilians are being slaughtered in Gaza, but America has turned a blind eye on the IDF blitzkrieg in favor of a good old-fashioned panic about the Ebola virus coming across the Atlantic.
Ebola is a serious danger. Hundreds have perished horrible death in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The viral hemorrhagic fever's symptoms fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore throat are followed by a worsening attacks on the infected person's body going as far as external bleeding as the immune systems fails to protect the host.
There is no vaccine for the deadly killer with a 50-90% fatality rate and Americans are rightly concerned about a possible outbreak in the USA, however the panic sewn by CNN and Fox News is classic summer fodder.
What is important is a vaccine.
To help the people in Africa.
They are the ones suffering from the epidemic.
Americans are just freaking out, but I expect nothing less from the Land of the Freaked.
This is the killer.
Smaller than small.
But deadlier than Godzilla.
