Dreadful diseases crop up all the time. I caught H1N1 in 2009 and was within the high risk group due to a craptastic immune system and asthma. Although I did take a hit for sure healthwise, I lived. Had no insurance (uninsurable at the time) so was "on my own" throughout it post diagnosis but I was given a cute blue mask to help me prevent infecting others.
Without a doubt though, an infectious disease will develop that could run rampant. I think that, considering the nutritional value of much of the food in the grocery store plus the fact that we have a higher percentage of hungry developing (between 20-25% go hungry in the US), we are probably at a higher risk for a possible pandemic than ever.
