[quote=“Kevin Granade, post:15, topic:7689”]It’s called a cold or the flu because your _character_ doesn’t know what’s going on, as far as they know it’s just a regular infection, but if you know anything about the actual diseases, you’d know that depopulating humanity would also wipe out the common cold and the flu.  
Why are you relying on the game telling you things your character wouldn’t necessarally know?[/quote]  
The game lies to us?

I… I can’t trust ANYTHING it says anymore… _Goes into fetal position and rocks back and forth_

“Everything I know is a lie!”
