I dislike INTENSELY any of the events that have to do with mass illness ... it takes a long time to get everyone healthy again, and for the elderly loss is a possibility. Everyone walking slow, all the coughing and hacking, .... ewwwww!!!

Upside - EVERYONE gets a shot at healing ... I make sure the doctors get well first to help out, but I drop EVERYONE healthy no matter what their skills are, on the sick ... so they all get a taste of being a healer. You never know ... might help out in the long run with future illness events. If I need to, I also make the healing stew to bolster up the health meters. But it takes time, especially if you are at full capacity in your tribe with 115 villagers!!!
