Would Secondary Pandemics Result From an Apocalyptic Pandemic?
A deadly super flu gets out and kills 90% of the population. During the exponential spread of the virus, it infects people working in a military base that deals in bio weapons. Is there a way to calculate the statistical probability of another virus escaping during the panic and further depleting the population?
BACKGROUND
I was watching The Walking Dead and about three seasons into it I realized that despite that deadly flu in the prison, no one was catching diseases. In a scenario for the zombie apocalypse, one would think that at least one govt. weapons lab might have a leak due to panicky scientists who realize the world is ending.
