Let’s wait until all of City Hall has typhus, please...
Are City Hall ignoring the problem as a method of culling the unwashed masses?
Wikipedia:
The following signs and symptoms refer to epidemic typhus as it is the most important of the typhus group of diseases.[9]
Signs and symptoms begin with sudden onset of fever, and other flu-like symptoms about one to two weeks after being infected.[10] Five to nine days after the symptoms have started, a rash typically begins on the trunk and spreads to the extremities. This rash eventually spreads over most of the body, sparing the face, palms, and soles.
Signs of meningoencephalitis begin with the rash and continue into the second or third weeks. Other signs of meningoencephalitis include sensitivity to light (photophobia), altered mental status (delirium), or coma. - Untreated cases are often fatal.
