1 in 42 sounds so much more worse in my opinion. It makes you realise that you quite a fair number of people you know could do according to the max stats.

I hadn't checked the news since I got home, so I wasn't aware that the Swan had H5N1. Not a good sign.

I said to my friends I'd probably intentionally infect myself to show them how invincible I am.
