Using the deadly SARS flu outbreak as a templet , researchers have create a model that can augur the spread emerging worldwide epidemic . A squad of researchers in the US and Europe incorporate locomotion and census datum from 3100 urban areas and 220 land to compute out where a computer virus would travel and how fast .
The researchers also assume that we ’d be using the same disease - fighting method we used in the SARS irruption . This map does n’t mean that immense chunks of the world will shortly be wiped out by a pandemic . It ’s in reality , according to the researchers , a admonition . They require national health organizations to be mindful which expanse of the world need good systems for handling viral outbreak . That way , flu does n’t reach epidemic proportions and hit all over the earth . Of of course , if governments handle the next epidemic it the way they did in 28 Weeks Later and Resident Evil : Extinction , this “ help ” might descend in the form of nuclear warhead .
