Scarlet fever once was deadly enough to require mandatory isolations and fill graveyards with its victims. Today, while Streptococcus pyogenes still flourishes, scarlet fever has, well, changed. Tune in to this week’s episode to find out how! #podcast #spotify #applepodcast - ThreadSky

I can’t believe you read out the Velveteen Rabbit. So good but now I’m crying at work 😭😭😭.

this one hit hard (especially with the increasingly loud antivaxxers)

That Velveteen Rabbit excerpt had me scrambling for a handkerchief. Am grateful I had scarlet fever in the age of antibiotics (and less virulent strep).

Great episode. I am still fascinated by the variation in virulence throughout history. Any idea if those deadly outbreaks in the 1800s were preceded by measles outbreaks? Wondering if measles’ ability to wipe the immune system was a factor.

I cry every time I think about The Velveteen Rabbit. 😭
