*Scratches the floorboards beneath Taw's feet*

Come on, man. It's cold down here. I'm scared. I'm stuck with Lyeos.

[Lightningfalcon]

Come on.  All we want to do is play.  Play with us, Tawarochir.  Plaaaaaaaaay.

Whelp, we're doomed.

Hardly "doomed". It's a nasty bug, sure, but it looks like a vaccine is nearing completion and treatment seems to be moderately successful with proper medical facilities.

Not saying that I would willingly breathe in a dose, obviously.

But 75% FATALITY RATE

That's like a C in killing!

[Orange Wizard]

Only a C? How hard can it be to kill someone, anyway? And why is Ebola so inept at it?

The fatality rate makes it too lethal for its own good sometimes, since it tends to kill off people before they can spread it very far.

Edit: Obviously, fatality rates are graded on a curve, putting Ebola near the head of the class.

Very. :v If you're talking about disease, though this is subjective in a general sense.

Incubation time. Window period post-testing...
Yeah.
^{Understand that which tries kills you, and you will save many.}

I think I'm being too silly tonight but yeah. Study it.

You can never

* Worldmaster points his flaming unicorn kabob at Tiruin

ever be too silly in the lower boards.
Unless you're in the sad thread. Or mafia. Possibly others.

Isolated island realm FTW.

...I think we should start a petition to make like Madagascar and SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

[TD1]

You can be too silly, actually.

It's a thin line to walk, but I think most of us pull it off.

The most successful virus would kill almost no one, instead just sitting there reproducing.  But then no one aside from a few nuts over at the CDC would care about it.

Depends by what you define as successful. It's not really in a virus's interests to kill its host, but it doesn't know that. It'll still do it. Dick arse viruses, so inconsiderate.
