Phil,

Fair enough - you know much better than we do what works best for your
game and players.  It don't work for you, chuck it verily out the next lock.

Given real-world circumstances over 2020-2022, I steered clear of
diseases in Parental Advisory, barring a humourous one-off reference to
Curly spending many an uncomfortable night on the dunny in his younger,
post-immigration, days.

That hasn't stopped me trying to figure out where the Terran
Confederation's bioweapon retaliation for the AZS' nuclear attack on
Terra will be intended to be unleashed, where the payloads will actually
_be_ released, and how many digits the resulting body count will have
(given the initial pathogens will be engineered to _exploit_ the
targeted populations' vulnerabilities - I probably could profit from
reading _Biohazard_ again).  I'm having a hard time getting it down to 9
digits, as it will Go _Horribly_ Right.
