What would, unfortunately, could be the most realistic scenario of the apocalypse (if you can call it like that) is the emerge and sprawl of a new, laboratory viruses, intended for rapid and extreme reduction of the human population on Earth, or the revival of an old, natural or artificially mutant viruses, such as those in the Middle Ages reigning in Europe, by bringing nearly 100 million lives. Of course, you understand that I mean the virus plague or "Black Death", as it was called. People then were uneducated and ignorant, and are

All subsequent outbreaks, with the exception of "Spanish flu" at the beginning of the 20th century were of limited character and not as affected for the entire human population. However, modernization of transport, especially aviation, we are in a situation that now any serious virus, inputed naturaly or artificialy in a human being, creates a tremendous chance to expand on all continents within a few days.Short period, too late for the authorities to react to any way. For example, some people infected with a dangerous virus in Hong Kong (Asia often taken as "zero point"), embarks on a journey by plane. At the airport it contacts with people, makes physical contact with them and the objects around them, sit on a plane for another world metropolis. On the plane, sneezes, coughs, highly-contagious virus matures in airplane ventilation and spreads around the aircraft to the other passengers, who then unaware that they are infected takes another plane and moving towards their destinations. And so within a couple of hours it already infected several hundred and perhaps thousands of people, and afther that everything goes by geometric progression. And as you turn, there is virtually no continent and major cities where there is no epidemicof that serious illness, and the authorities because of lack of preparation, because of the large number of patients and lack of vaccines are not able to restrain her.
