    481 documented cases.

    Geez, it’s almost as if this is one of the most contagious pathogens known to humankind. If only there were some way to protect against it :'(

      Maybe we should put money into inventing time travel so we can go back and see how they did it before.

      The feds aren’t doing nearly what they used to. We’re down to non profits, individual doctors, and random online groups trying to be what the NIH/CDC/FDA used to be.
