A highly contagious and rapidly moving "super-virus" begins to infect humans across the world now - it knows no bounds and is transmittable in every form. It is entirely baffling to scientists - so much so, that some scientists claim that it is an entire lifeform in its own right (some suggest that this "super-virus" actually originated from space in recent meteorite strikes).
The thing is, this "alien super-virus" binds with (and in some cases, takes over) our human DNA. In those humans that the super-virus is unable to bind with successfully, the victim dies painfully as his DNA is degraded and destroyed in real-life. In the end, this "alien super-virus" wipes out 3-4billion human beings!
The thing is, those who do survive are not entirely as they were before. Sure, they fell sick like everybody else, but they survive. Some survive, but are greatly weakened and frail - but they survive nonetheless. Others survive and can function as normal. But the rest of the survivors all come out "better" - more intelligent, more efficient and improved physiological systems; "new" cells (i.e. initiated by the arrival of the alien super-virus into the host); rapid muscle and bone growth - even in those who have stopped developing (i.e. these new alien super-viral cells mimic aritificial stem cell implants etc) etc etc.

if say half of india, china, and like a token amount of the rest died, no change..but if say, all of north America, Europe, etc died out..then it would be a very different world...in which I say, good luck with that.

That is such a self centered view....

What if the virus wiped out ALL humans on the earth leaving none alive except those on the space station in orbit, and when they come back, they're the only ones alive on earth. What would they do!?
Oo
*wwwwwwossshhh flap flap* flies off.
And while scarcely five human generations have passed since 1918, the germs have had many, many billions of generations to evolve further, so I think that Super Bug is probably out there somewhere waiting to bite us.
