particularly nasty pathogenic component for that population, yes :).

Oh my goodness, yes, I meant pathogenic. What a silly and fitting insult.

echeese | karma 357 | avg karma 2.06 · | 2018-02-07 15:48:47+00:00

Could infect the native population on the planet

phreeza | karma 8993 | avg karma 4.48 · | 2020-01-31 09:14:28+00:00

Infectious disease, I think.

They are disease ridden and a health hazard.

vGPU | karma 780 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2023-07-31 01:45:01

Sure, but also HIV, hepatitis, and other nasties.

This article appears to be a more poorly written copy of one that was posted earlier that went into more detail.

Well, that and toxoplasmosis.

Also, regular exposure to pathogens.

williamstein | karma 6832 | avg karma 5.85 · | 2021-05-06 07:29:26

Or diseases.

and possibly infect scores of other people, some of them not so lucky and will get the serious case requiring hospitalisation or worse.

I think the term you're looking for is "infectious disease".

myshpa | karma 5443 | avg karma 3.83 · | 2023-07-31 05:18:38

Yep, sorry, I overlooked the context. Other zoonotic diseases though ;)

eru | karma 30335 | avg karma 1.29 · | 2017-10-04 17:09:41+00:00

I think it infected most of the English speaking world.

sulam | karma 4978 | avg karma 3.21 · | 2018-07-16 22:40:23

Wait, is it harmless or is it going to cause a cluster of diseases in the next few years?? It can't be both!

imdsm | karma 2339 | avg karma 2.72 · | 2023-11-23 13:33:23

Could you share the name of the illness/pathogen? Very curious.

f7u12 | karma 26 | avg karma 0.93 · | 2011-09-29 21:07:43+00:00

Ah, that is quite a plague. Thanks for the info.

bdcravens | karma 20814 | avg karma 2.3 · | 2023-09-16 21:00:42

Cholera as well.

BurningFrog | karma 23526 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2022-04-20 10:23:19

The genuinely frightening possibility is diseases engineered to infect/kill only people of a certain race or family.

ssn | karma 1827 | avg karma 7.43 · | 2011-04-17 10:10:57+00:00

Wonder if diseases are also affected.

cpks | karma 417 | avg karma 3.93 · | 2013-05-03 09:33:52

They are disease-infected, I presume.
