I remember that my server - Emerald Dream EU - avoided having an outbreak for quite a long time. We knew what the problem was, and somehow it took a fair few hours for the first idiot to come along and do it for the lulz, before that everyone agreed to not carry the Blood Plague outside.
Once it happened, it was only 5-6 hours to the downtime where they fixed the bug, but it essentially depopulated the major cities, anyways.
Zero Punctuation made a video about it. It's worth a watch!
I love Yahtzee
Precautions were actually very effective for healthcare workers in COVID-19, believe it or not. I wore an n-95 as a COVID nurse with very sick patients and was coughed all over and never caught COVID until I went to a county fair without a mask while vaccinated. Most of my fellow nurses caught it from community spread and not hospital spread as well. This is closer to Ebola.
Would've been perfect if Arthas or whoever spread dangerous misinformation.
If anyone from the Warcraft universe is close to Trump, it's Galliwix.
Right. Arthus was actually charismatic, competent, and relatable.
If anyone's interested in the general network behaviour of infectious diseases and the like, this is a pretty cool interactive article: https://meltingasphalt.com/interactive/going-critical/
Im not sure I would like to be apart of this interactive disease
It's actually really interesting.
That was fantastic
I was there that fateful day. It was interesting to say the least. I was level 60 at the time but all the noobies dying made every city littered with corpses.
I remember all of the dead in the Auction House in Orgimmar. It was something!
I had just started the game prior to when WOTLK dropped
I was so confused, I thought it was an intentional event that Blizzard was running
Episode 10 of the podcast Let's Learn Everything! starts with a discussion of this incident and the ways that epidemiologists have studied it to draw real-world parallels.
It's a great comedy/science podcast; I strongly recommended it.
What is this titlegore bullshit?
Reminds me of Kingdom of Loathing's grey plague.
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
