One of the worse epidemics in the history of mankind is taking place today. Over one billion people are already infected and the numbers grow by thousands every day. This is 13.3 times the number of people infected by bubonic plague and over 13.5 percent of the world’s population today.

If you’re friends with co-workers or your boss, they have full access to your personal life and if you happen to play hooky from work and you check in to the spa-you’re caught!
