According to smh, Brian Pool, (the guy who was infected), died from a 100% non-related stroke, after 6 months of constant quarantine. So thankfully, we know the illness isn't deadly in itself. Even if it is a horrible sign that it's antibiotic-resistant.

Apart from suppressing the immune system, it can't directly kill somebody. You could live in a sterile bubble all your life and despite some shortening of the same, you'd still be able to live decently more or less. The reason why people die of AIDS is mainly due to the opportunistic infections and the generalized state of poor health they end up in after they get infected by multiple disorders.
Wow, this is some scary shit. This is mother nature's way of thinning out the herd
The first thing that came to mind when reading this thread was some unstoppable zombie virus that could be easily spread from country to country. Who knows man.
[QUOTE=CaptainHijacks;42965661]..Vaccines still exist, y'know. Also the bacteria would still die to extreme heat.[/QUOTE] Oh well thank fuck all I have to do if I ever catch this is sit in a fucking oven for a little while. Lol screw antibiotics, the pathogen experts of Facepunch practically have this shit solved already. Wow didn't realize how long this thread was. I felt like I had to reply to that the moment I saw it.

Well, we can't nuke the site from orbit because New-Zealand is a "nuclear-free zone" and they don't allow them. Evolution doesn't care about your silly treaties, New Zealand! It can't read![QUOTE=bravehat;42964399]Actually that's wrong, there's extremophilic archeae that can survive the hot water geysers in Yellowstone like it's nothing and we recently found microbes in the Atacama desert. Not to mention we've found surviving bacteria in orbit.[/QUOTE]Napalm can burn at temperatures that will melt structural steel, which I'm [i]pretty sure[/i] will corrode to nothing before it melts in water geysers and I'm also [i]pretty sure[/i] if you orbit an I-beam, it'll stay in one piece. I bring this up because steel is clearly superior to any bacteria ever. So, if napalm can cure your steel problems, it sure as hell can cure the fuck out of a bacterial infection. Yep, there's no problem in the world that fire can't solve. Except for a flood, fire can't solve floods, you'll need a boat for that. Don't worry though, despite New Zealand clearly trying to kill us all with it's extreme lack of foresight, America invented napalm a long time ago specifically for such an occasion.

all the more to rush development of cyborg bodies!!
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;42969757]You can't exactly develop a natural immunity if the infection kills you.[/QUOTE] At the very least someone will be immune to this.
If you don't understand the reference then that's fine by me
