Guess you missed the cholera, bubonic plague, HepC, Hiv, Herpes, etc., etc., etc., etc. reference?
No, I didn't. I don't see what point you could be making other than (1) those diseases are also not considered airborne (though bubonic plagues has reportedly been transmitted by cough) and (2) none are a very significant threat to the general population outside certain places (HIV being the most serious in sub-Saharan Africa, but easily prevented and contained by the lifestyle choices). Herpes? Not much of a danger to anyone save newborns who don't have doctors capable of spotting it and performing a caesarian. Hep-C. I'll start worrying about that as soon as my heroin addiction kicks in.
