You Give Me Fever

For reasons unknown, I am rewatching The West Wing from the start. Its not like there's a shortage of fantastic new TV but I'm in it now and that's that.

I watched an episode from series one, broadcast in October 1999.

Josh Lyman, Deputy Chief of Staff, explaining that the next threat will not be a military or nuclear attack but disease...

"No one has acquired immunity. You get it, you carry a ten foot cloud around with you. One in 3 die. If 100 people in New York got it, you'd have to encircle them with 100 million vaccinated people. There's gonna be a medical emergency that makes HIV look like cold and flu season. "
