gollark: Excluding ones which their owners fogged, I guess.
gollark: Also, good news, we only have three sick hatchlings left now!
gollark: The API doesn't mention it - I assume they either calculate it from the V/UV/clicks somehow or scrape.
gollark: Wait, it does *that*? Hmm... I assume it uses the API still... I need to reread that.
gollark: It's currently the only one to do sickness and safety checking (that I know of).
