Disease Resistance
« on: May 26, 2011, 03:03:13 pm »

Reduces chance of infection or increases chance of surviving infection?

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

I don't know. It sounds like an opportunity for !!SCIENCE!!.

Hmmm, how to set up an experiment...


OK, build a danger room, but instead of training spears, use low quality copper spears. Make sure your hospital has no soap. Draft a bunch of potash makers/milkers/etc, note their disease resistance, and station them, unarmed and unarmored, in the danger room. Pull the lever until a statistically significant number of them get injured. Then sit back and collect infection data.

Well I've got a child here who's contracted 3 infections after being cleaned with soapy clean water and has a high disease resistance... so I'm doing science already... the only problem is they're refusing to traction him properly.
