DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

Dr. Wynne seemed to want to eliminate any form of KA that either would 100% zombify you or could 100% be cured. Without further work, I'd suspect KA would speed the development of people like George**, reduce the number of people who spontaneously amplify, and in general be a disease that's still dangerous but more in the range of HIV-2010 than... well, HIV-1980 with zombies. Which would make it harder to go for the head since, well... she might get better, and the sticky ethics of exposing your infants to active-KA -- they might develop immunity, or they might amplify as soon as they hit 40-60 pounds.

I suspect other agents like the state of the US population (read: obsessed with seeming safety, afraid of everything, and easily controlled), since it makes post-9-11 look like an anarchy, and that the tobacco/plastic/whatever companies are suddenly happy that 'carcinogen' isn't a big deal any more (though maybe Big Tobacco less so so now that the southeast is being firebombed to clear the zombies...)

** And Shaun, if anything about his body eased his apparently acquired immunity (working hypothesis, given Seanan's comments).

Now it's occurred to me to wonder if Rick is also possibly immune since his wife had ovarian KA.

And finding out wouldn't be fun for Rick.
