The diseases were removed from a list of tests the agency conducts for state and local health departments. Experts worry that with drastic staff reductions, the testing may not resume.
All so billionaires can pay less taxes

Rabies cases went down 100%. People now dying of mysterious illness, afraid of water.

They're clearly dehydrated... gotta drink water.

Good thing rabies is easily treatable if you don't bother with testing, right?

It is very easy to treat! No treatment required, because you can't treat dead.
(100% fatality rate after symptom onset)

It's not 100% anymore, it's like 99.999999999%
There is a treatment that's been successfully used, but you don't come out unscathed either.

I believe that number is at least 14 survivals now?

Oh wow, that's way more than I'd heard. It's not something I follow though hah.
I'm still surprised there are people out there like one of the original people cured who knew they were injured by a bat, who were like, nah, i'm not going to get the vaccine immediately.
At least where I'm from it was taught pretty early that rabies was serious and you had to get a vaccine right away if any animal attacked and injured you just in case.

I thought it was still 100% for rabies from certain animals.

Well at least it's a calm, painless illness prior to death, right?

Billionaires want there to be less people in the world. This is why they won't give you health care and this is why they want to let all the diseases and pandemics run rampant without making a big deal about it. They want you dead and if not dead in the most extreme subservience possible.
