The common cold, we don't know iit as a killer today-what about the last 4000 years?

Rabies. Eek!

Rabies. Eek!

Dreadful as rabies certainly is, and a terrible death they say, attacking the nervous system, I'm told in areas of the world where it is endemic, there are so many other things to possibly kill you, it isn't the one feared the most(?). .

You have no pity, your going to force us to keep guessing

Alone with covid-19, we have West Nile virus, both are dangerous, both are feared.
So, you seek a virus that is dangerous but, but, but all the big killers have been mentioned (i think)-confused.
I'm overthinking here...

Does it matter which one gets you? .

Impossible to answer since 'all time' has not yet happened.

I felt it was smart not to join this thread. I must be psychic.

 

[StarSong]

Killed the most people and keeps on killing.

In that case it has to be the overall category of influenza.

[Tish]

I am going to go with the Spanish flu.

@Youngatheart Please come back and tell us what your findings were.

@Youngatheart Please come back and tell us what your findings were.

I quite like the idea we're all being teased on this one, and let's face it the thread depends upon us all not knowing the answer for sure, (maybe we'll disagree when it comes along anyway too?). .

Computer Virus.

Rabies. Eek!

Great great grandfather died of rabies. The account in the newspaper said he died on the fourth day and was a gentleman to the end. Whatever that means.

 

[Judycat]

I know what it is but I'm not saying except it isn't something people in this hemisphere think about although we may have heard about it.

[Judycat]

Computer virus isn't that new.

 

[Liberty]

Ebola? It is a horror to the African countries.

 

[Judycat]

Ebola isn't new either.

 

[jerry old]

Gets my vote, computing 'stuff'' has been a problem since we learned to county of our fingers.

 

[StarSong]

Ebola is relatively new - first identified in 1976. has killed relatively few humans. Although it's got a very high kill rate, fewer than 15,000 people have died from it, all told.

[Judycat]

Ah look it up. Just sayin', it wasn't much of a WOW, except for the camels, when I found out what it was.

 

[Youngatheart]

StarSong. You got it right. It is a greed. The most dangerous virus of all time.
