Medical Trivia
« on: March 24, 2013, 09:46:51 PM »
Recent forum discussion has led me to pose this question:


What virus, once symptoms are presenting, has the highest mortality rate?

Smallpox, though I also think Rabies is the correct answer.

Once googled Rabies is #1. I didn't know that rabies is a virus.

My first guess (No cheating) would have been the Spanish Flu. I remember my grandmother talking about the influenza of 1918. She told me as a game, she and her friends use to sit on their front outside stoop and count the hearses going by.
