There are natural viruses (those not weaponized) that kill so fast when in the human population, there are questions as to how the virus is survives to be transmitted to another host.
Not all persons with pneumonic, septicemic or bubonic plague die. Some people's resistance is remarkable, and they survive. The oriental rat flea is considered the prime mover of the Yersinia Pestis bacteria, but those who cough bacteria laden sputum are the cause of pnumonic plague and they transmit the bacteria to the next generation. Masks anyone???. Septicemic plague is a by-product of the original, Bubonic Plague.
A disease to fear is Ebola-Marburg virus. The kill ratio is somewhere arround 80-90 percent. From contact to death can be as short as 4-6 hours. The affect of this disease is very similar to the "bird flu" virus everybody has been concerned about. The primary affect of the virus on the body is to utterly destroy the victims internal organs. Should you survive these diseases you very well could be a physical vegetable, 'till you die of some other complication.
A book called the "Control of Communcable Diseases in Man" gives some excellent insight into various diseases and how to minimize a disease affect.
Everyone have fun, wash your hands often. Stay safe and healthy.
