Thanks for dealing with difficult topics at a time when one of the only things that can be counted on to happen is change. With human over-population leading to more incursions into wild areas which had previously been pristine and not often traversed, coupled with high speed travel all over the globe, the chances of a disease which had once been localized making it into a major population center and taking off is higher than ever. Meanwhile, some major advances have woven together into new modes of care and medical understanding so how to tackle those emerging diseases as well as already known ones is also rapidly changing. I think that a lot of people do not realize that the data is not static.
On that regard, if you would enjoy something which may be potentially cheering:
Replicating RNA Vaccine Generates Unexpected Immune Response Against CCHFV in Mice
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus has about a 30% death rate in people and there is no way to treat it, just to tackle symptoms, so if this pans out in humans as well then it will be wonderful. The vaccine worked much better than expected in the mice and did so with one small dose.
