It won't, but if it makes you happy then crack on.

Lets just wait and see

This year, next year or the following perhaps? You must have picked up this notion from somewhere, can't you expand on "just wait and see"?

While sitting in a cave full of Rousettus bats perhaps ?

Human infection with Marburg virus disease initially results from prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies. Once an individual is infected with the virus, Marburg can spread through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.

Or maybe one of the other 4 trillion viruses? Nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat! Know what I mean?

Personally I'm more concerned by the potential outbreak of a lethal form of Athletes foot. No one would take it seriously, perfect germ warfare.

As a bonus it's just as likely as Marburg.

Once jon (no idea what he does for a living) has the bit between his teeth and is in full troll mode, he gets very self important. It's also when his posts are in full 'clueless' mode.
