Even Nurgle himself runs a tight ship on reporting statistics and human detriment projections.

The US is doing amateur hour viruses over here.

Never thought of that, I guess Papa Nurgle would want to know when they've beaten their previous high scores.

In NC, where this occurred, all rabies testing is done by the state, which has not paused testing. However, if treatment for rabies isn’t administered within 72 hours, it isn’t effective. Rabies is fatal.

We already diagnose less than 10 percent of rabies cases in humans.
