#1 About as likely as being hit by a meteorite and then struck by lightning.

Utter nonsense.

#3 Not to be confused with the collision of anti-vaccination populations with uncontrolled illegal immigration. Who needs real science when social virtues collide?

#4 Right on P2K. I wonder if a virus could make a guy virile?. Well anyway the study of virology is quite depressing. It's just a matter of time for something to come along.

#5 It would seem to that a bacilli or virus from the past should be several steps behind in the development loop.
The problem we have are with emerging diseases (those coming out of previously inacessable areas) and species jumpers (that hop from species to species) in target rich area.
Of course, one coud ride a meteor in (ala Andromeda Strain) just any old time.

#8 This year I have seen many new odd things. Hand infections requiring antibiotics with repeated treatments.lasting several months. Then a fungus lung infection. These among healthy active people. Elevated white blood cell counts with resulting heart issues. Having left healthcare to work among healthy people seems the healthy are not so healthy.
