Music: Miranda Lambert, "Little Red Wagon."

Something silly and sort of scary for a Sunday morning.

I (as Mira Grant) was asking to put together a list of potential pandemics for Buzzfeed. I like anything that gives me an excuse to wallow in delicious virology, so...

Enjoy, and remember, medical science is more interested in keeping you alive than it is in cutting you up and reassembling you as a shambling horror.

Most of the time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vozrozhdeniya_Island I had a professor tell me about this place, shared the story of some researchers on a boat nearby the island being exposed to and contracting weaponized smallpox from the soviet outdoor bioweapons lab testing going on there. Best part is, the island is now a peninsula due to draining of the aral sea. Wildlife can and does trod across it now to and from the mainland. oops.
