5 People walk into a clinic, each of them are presenting similar symptoms. Each of them have been sick for a couple days and believe they have the flu. One of the five people have the common flu, but one of them has smallpox. Smallpox is an infectious disease that affects the small blood vessels, skin, mouth, and throat, before moving on and taking over the whole body. During its incubation period (12 days) it presents like any common cold, the person infected will experience fever, muscle pain, headache, nausea, and sore throat. In contrast, one infected with the flu might experience headache, chills, a fever, body ache, loss of appetite, nausea, and fatigue; the two are nearly identical. Unlike the flu, which goes away after a week or so, visible lesions begin to appear about a week and a half into infection with smallpox. It begins in the throat, small red spots appear and rupture, sending large quantities of the disease into the host’s body, and in the span of 24-48 hours, lesions appear on the skin. From this point, there are four routes that smallpox could take, it either develops into ordinary, modified, malignant, and hemorrhagic. The first two have about a 30% mortality rate, but the latter two are considered fatal.
