It was Pierre who said 79% death rate. Not the C’s.
The C’s said. RNA (virus), and most likely to be similar to primitive smallpox.
I can’t find the difference between “primitive” and regular smallpox. Only a reference that they believe smallpox originated in 10,000 BC and was found on Egyptian mummies from about 3 thousand years ago with the pox scares on their bodies. But nothing about what makes it different from regular smallpox.
In an effort to keep an eye open for a possible space virus. Here are some know symptoms of the know diseases, and remember they said “most likely” to be “similar” so, were not dealing with exactitudes here.
For smallpox: Initial symptoms,
symptoms seen
before the rashes develop include:
Fever, chills
Discomfort
Body aches
Malaise
Vomiting
For black death/bubonic plague. Initial symptoms:
Bubonic plague causes fever, fatigue, shivering, vomiting, headaches, giddiness, intolerance to light, pain in the back and limbs, sleeplessness, apathy, and delirium. It also causes buboes: one or more of the lymph nodes become tender and swollen, usually in the groin or armpits.
I thought small poxes was eradicated.
The last smallpox infection worldwide was documented in October 1977 in Somalia.
Smallpox is the only human disease to be eradicated – here’s how the world achieved it - Our World in Data
But weirdly…. Big Pharma seems to be ready for smallpox? (This article sure talks about diseases like they are a business….)
