Jay, TeoTwawki doesn't come dressed as this. Turning points that signalized the TeoTwawki is like Black death which contributed to the end of the feudal system. You would need a lot more of death to make a significant dent on the world of today.

Turks taking of Constantinople blocking the way to the Easter parts of the world. Is one example, or the discover of the new world by the Portuguese and the Spanish are other examples that come to mind.

The problem of HK is similar to the problem of NZ. Size. There are one billion Chinese there and they are not going to be wiped out by this desease.

A few weekends in Sao Paulo Jardim Angela and Rio de Janeiro Baixada Fluminense produces more casualties than those 120 or so deaths.

HK inherited an UK system. Weak yo deal with this kind of problem. As you know anything in Europe -like a three day without collecting the trash by the public services and they cry chaos.

Look behind the scenes and you'd see civil servants threatened by budgets cuts faning the flames.
