Yeah, with it’s long incubation period, she’s tight.

However the “death rate” from this is probably very low.
Much lower than currently estimated- obviously it’s very easy to find people who died from it, and very hard to find people who were infected but didn’t!

ICUs and, eventually, vaccines will be the answer.

One day there’ll be a high death rate virus with a month’s incubation. Look out then!

For a disease with a one month incubation, it is very possible to vaccinate a person suspected to be exposed and prevent them from getting the disease. It takes two weeks to respond to a vaccine.

Post-exposure vaccination is part of the strategy against rabies. Exposed people also get dosed with immune serum. This works because immunity takes two weeks, and the incubation for rabies is long, sometimes even years.
