gollark: The plague is *around* still, it just doesn't do much because sanitation is better.
gollark: But something something anthropic principle and populations were much more isolated until recently.
gollark: I did wonder a while ago why, if it was possible to have diseases which were both really lethal and contagious/airborne, humans were alive.
gollark: Can't wait for random people to be able to make custom diseases from the comfort of their home!
gollark: The great thing about bioweapons is that commercial DNA printing is quite cheap, and apparently mostly doesn't even defend against known sequences for e.g. smallpox (not that blacklisting works, really), and I believe there are papers describing how you can conveniently resurrect Spanish flu and such.
