People have known about smallpox for thousands of years. Some people recover fully from it. It is not 100% fatal. If it exists for a long time in a population, for example, in medieval Europe, lots of the population gets resistance to it and few people will die. Now, almost no populations have any resistance, so if there was another outbreak, lots of people would die.

Smallpox was disscovered in 1066 in the battle of hastings when the french brough some sort of bug over and mixed it with the flu just like bird flu(dont bel;ive in bird flu) but anyway you would live up to 3 weeks most people die after about 6 days

Smallpox has been around for centuries. My guy's Grandfather had it but he survived. Diseases bring out the stronger genetic strains and the weaker ones die out that way.

Google it, nobody knows that off of the top of their head. Do your own research.
