NO! this is not a new thread about a doomesday prophecy!

When you ask a person, what's comes in his or her mind, when they hear the meaning

" end of the world"

I tell you, everyone is thinking of huge earthquake, meteor, sickness a.s.o

But, there's otherways the world(infrastructor, cities etc) could under.

A totally collapse of the economy in the world, could be one of them and no one is thinking of that.

A total collapse of the economy is the end of economy as it was before it collapsed, it is not the end of the world...

I believe I heard the most likely reason for human beings as a race to go extinct right now is being infected and killed out by a new strand of virus of some sort. So, while not technically the end of the world, it would be the end of us.

Or at least most of us, I'm sure some lucky government officials would lock themselves up in an underground bunker somewhere.

Most virii do not have the capacity to wipe out the entire population, wlthough they could certainly thin it out a lot.

When people talk about the end of the world, usually they are just talking about the end of humanity.... like that would be a bad thing.

Population control comes to mind.
So does the Ebola virus and HIV.
