Your Score: Influenza!

You scored 46% pestilentiality!

You are one tricky devil. Highly contagious, wildly cyclical and about as predictable as the equities market (I hear, anyway), you are one of mankind’s oldest companions. You probably originated in China, like so many people these days, and stem from pigs and birds mostly. Pigs and birds are pretty cute.

You were, however, responsible for one of the most deadly modern pandemics, and frankly the only one Americans care a thing about. Most of the time you are just a pain, causing me to miss work and lose wages. You cause muscle and joint pain, fever, vomiting, etc. All in all, you are mostly a danger to the babies and the old people, so you’re not all bad, eh?

You may be extremely pleased to learn you are caused by an RNA virus, of the Orthomyxoviridae family.

Which Horrible Disease Are You?
