    Zombie plague will likely be a mutated form of creutzfeldt-jakob disease. It's later stages already mimic zombies with violent outbursts and inability to recognize people or communicate and can be transferred by bodily fluids like blood and saliva. Though, the usual method of contraction is eating beef from cattle infected with mad cow disease. If it ever mutated (naturally or manual intervention) to be airborne you'd have a serious problem.

    As long they are slow moving (Walking Dead) zombies... Those fast moving (WWZ) zombies are way too quick for my fat ass.

    Forget WWZ, have you ever played DayZ? They run the same speed you do, so even getting a safe distance so you can shoot them is hard as hell.

    Our technology in Oncology has improved tremendously past 15 years. Within 10 years, I think most of biologic/Biopharmaceutical/Biotech drugs hopefully be cheaper after some patent expires.
    However, we are just getting into immunology and virology bandwagon. I think it will be about 15 to 20 years away from mass producing major infectious disese treatment which can reverse (not cure) the illness.

    This is somewhat of an inside joke for those that have played Pandemic.

    Ebola has too fast a burn cycle to be a true civilization ender. I'm betting on a highly antibiotic resistant strain of pneumonic plague or a particularly virulent strain of influenza as the next effective pandemic. Shit like Hanta virus is plenty lethal, but not nearly contagious enough to prevent effective quarantine. A faster moving MDR tuberculosis (say 30 days average lethality) might be pretty nasty as well.
