      Every new infection is a new dice roll for a human-human infection mutation

      Low chance, but let’s hope we don’t get XCOM’d

          Some people might have said the same about cancer too

          Edit: Forget cancer.

          Viruses are one of the most common causes of heart inflammation. When an infection leads to myocarditis, health experts refer to it as infective myocarditis. Myocarditis can occur if the virus infects heart tissue. This can trigger an immune system reaction that may result in inflammation of heart muscle tissue

          Huh. Turns out heart failure can be contagious.
