EBOLA ziare strain was the most lethal. what about smallpox? the most lethal tends to be the least contagious virus.

also for rabies, the theory is that depending on where you get infected on the body is when the onset is, the farther away from the brain the longer the onset of symptoms. Also the "so-called coma protocol was debunked"

marsupials/monotremes are largely resistant to a rabies infections likely due to thier seperate lineage/protein receptors evolution than placentals.
