I agree, although I think it's likely to happen much faster than that. We're already seeing a range of antibiotic resistant bacteria which are immune to standard treatment regimens. And with a slew of superbugs emanating from Asia and Europe each year, we probably do have something to be somewhat concerned about. Side: Yes

There are like 5 different strains of TB if you take the scale of 1-5 1 being easily treatable and 5 meaning you're screwed.... We already have all 5. If we keep treating fungi and bacteria the same we might as well nuke ourselves now. Using Antibiotics(which kill your own immune system) makes the problem worse. With all the ease of healing, we don't really get a chance to develop genes that fight back the disease and makes $h!7 bad for everyone else in the future. Side: Yes

Holy shit! I didn't even know you liked plague inc. That games awesome! Infact i used it in an example in one of your debates ^_^ and seen this later. Also, Scientists have been genetically engineering viruses for a long time now. If they really wanted too (or due to some accident reminiscent of the Resident Evil games {I.E global catastrophe due to a bio hazard outbreak}) they could kill us all no problem and a select few in government or rich people would maybe beable to survive it... maybe.
