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).
