A major new report has found that the world is not prepared for the next global pandemic.

A review of health care systems already in place across the world found just 13 countries had the resources to put up a fight against an "inevitable" pandemic.

Scientists warned that an outbreak of a flu-like illness could sweep across the planet in 36 hours and kill tens of millions due to our constantly-travelling population.

Among the countries ranked in the top tier were Britain, the US, Australia, Canada, France and Holland.

3. I think we have a pandemic already...

Encephlolizarda. It is a jab to the lizard brain caused by dire warnings of things that might happen.

The brain works on fight or flight principle when it comes down to perceived danger or threats. It does not necessarily distinguish between imaginary or conceptual notions of danger. If you get enough doses of the catastrophes that are occurring or could happen, especially everyday, that can stimulate chemical reactions in the nervous system.

Then, add the fascination with and exposure to high-tension movies with copious amounts of realistic violence, danger and death, (which are fine as entertainment if your stress levels are not already up) and that compounds the problem.

We have not had enough time to adapt to this kind of barrage that is the result of access to more news and media, so we can become very hyper-vigilant, tense and reactive if we entertain it too frequently. In the short-term, the effects on our organism can generate mental and physical health issues.

When an massive epidemic comes, I will deal with it then. There is nothing I can do about it now. We don't have to stick our heads in the sand, but in a world where, if it bleeds it leads, it is worth considering the physiological issues all total.
