People have been predicting the end of the world for a long time now and no one has been right since. And truthfully 150 million isn't but a drop in the bucket of the worlds 6+ billion population. Widespread diseases have done a lot more damage before in the past (Black Plague anyone?) and we still recovered. People always get too worked up about things. In my opinion, who cares when the world ends.. nothing we can do about it. Worrying isn't going to fix it. I'd rather not know when the world is going to end, when it's my time then hell it's my time and I'm just going to die, why worry about the rest of the world too?
