think about it.

Same. I watch people get sick around me and I go about my life - not sick. It was different in college. Now, hardly ever.

Daniel, I think attenuated is the term. That's for the live, but weakened vaccines. The dead ones we always called "dead", but I'm sure there's a term for it I can't think of at 3AM.
