If you truly must live your life in fear of dying, look no further than heart disease and car accidents.

Those are not as scary because there are plenty of survivors, in various states of health. Rabies is notable for being a very binary and decisive disease with little advance warning or treatment.

I think, some creatures are just trouble for our species. Mosquitoes are the deadliest for us, but it seems that bats, with high instances of rabies, and things like covid, are right up there too.

It is sadly funny that we manage to extinct the useful, and mostly beneficial creatures around us, but our "enemies" just exist rampantly and laugh.
