I thought of you.

Trying to estimate the number of people with meningitis that'll be misdiagnosed
because of the current flu "problem"

Oh ta.
Not killer enough.

They're pretty fucking killer in terms of pure numbers.
Your standards are too high

That's because infection rates are also so high.
I prefer things with low morbidity rate, but high mortality.

I prefer women with low morbid obesity rate
And middling morality.

Really? They're just a sideshow
High morbidity bact/viruses are the ones that need study to have the most impact on public health.
The problem being they're the tough ones because they mutate so quickly.

I know that, and it's all very interesting, and important
But my interests lie mostly in haemorrhagic fevers and other emerging infections.
