The flu and its cohorts are not to be trifled with for those reasons. It’s highly contagious and most infected run the risk of dehydration and malnutrition on top of the fever. It does a number on even the most healthy person.
In my world, people have adapted diseases like that and worse to create biological weapons. Ways to kill entire populations of people, even decimate entire cities and beyond if it gets out.
[Which is one of the reasons the rampant magical plague here worries and taxes Sheva so much, it’s so linked to her experiences from home. It takes a moment for her to recognize the mention of the chocolate.]
I appreciate all that you do to accommodate your guests.
