In this hypothetical scenario, you are naïve (non-immune/never exposed) to all types of viral hepatitis. You are being held captive and tortured on Dreaded Island somewhere in the Arctic Ocean. They will only release you from captivity if you agree to infect yourself with one form of hepatitis. Seeing no other choice, you agree to do so. Use what you know about the morbidity and mortality, the chance of a chronic infection, and the transmission of each virus. With this knowledge, which type of hepatitis would you choose to infect yourself with?

Bonus Question The disease EID (Epidemiology Infectious Diseasitis) was first discovered in an online discussion board in the College of Public Health at UF on 8/1/21. The incubation period appears to be 12 weeks long. The symptoms include, but are not limited to: delirium, blurry vision (that can only be corrected by reading glasses), excitement at other people’s morbidity and mortality rates, and a desire to make the world a better place. Since the local county epidemiologist has succumbed to the disease, your services as a public health officer have been requested. You are trying to create a case definition for this novel disease. What factors would you want to include in your case definition for a confirmed case? Check all that apply.
