I wouldn't press it... but I would sure like things to be simpler.
There are many possible and a few more likely scenarios for TEOTWAWKI and this is one that is a bit higher on the list. Personally, I think a worldwide pandemic is just as likely.
We've already dodged the bullet once or twice in the last few decades. The first known Ebola case was put on an international flight from Africa to France. Luckily no one was infected on the flight.
Less than 12 miles from Washington D.C. monkeys at a holding facility were found to be infected with a mutated form of Ebola and were handled extremely carelessly before they knew what they were dying from. Luckily the virus had not mutated to the point of being able to infect humans.
Go back 100 years and the 1918 Influenza pandemic. Fully 1/4 of the worlds population was infected and at minimum 3% of the population died but it was probably more than that.
We've been lucky for a long time.
