Anyone check his foam for rabies?

Sorry, his foam and saliva may carry the Rabies Virus (Rhabdovirus) but are in such minute numbers they are undetectable. It would be difficult to diagnose rabies in Olbermann because one has to have a brain, an amygdala, to be able to visualize the negri bodies diagnostic for rabies. Olbermann has demonstrated he has cerebral hypoplasia and therefore could not demonstrate the virus even though his actions are clinically compatible with the disease.
