Something silly and sort of scary for a Sunday morning.

I (as Mira Grant) was asking to put together a list of potential pandemics for Buzzfeed. I like anything that gives me an excuse to wallow in delicious virology, so...

Enjoy, and remember, medical science is more interested in keeping you alive than it is in cutting you up and reassembling you as a shambling horror.

Most of the time.

Yeah, not even the military vaccinates for small pox anymore - they haven't since the mid 80s. The only people that get that vaccine now are people that actually work in labs where there's a chance of contact.

Most US nurses are required to have the vaccine as well, sadly this is not true for ALL healthcare workers!
Thank you for making my dreams just a little bit scarier Seanan, and reminding me why I went into the health sciences in the first place. It is at least partly your fault (I listened to The Black Death at least once a day when applying for schools.) :-)
