- In the past, 3 out of every 10 people infected with smallpox died. Modern medicine might reduce this proportion, but the effects of a large-scale outbreak would still be catastrophic.
- People who survive smallpox are often permanently scarred. In rare cases, they become blind as well.
- There is currently no method to treat smallpox. Medications can only help control the pain and fever.
