- jjk166 11mo agoBut the question isn't "what are the odds someone who dies in this period has rabies" it's "what are the odds someone who died after being infected with rabies died before they started showing symptoms" so the rarity of people incubating rabies is irrelevant. Further, rabies incubation is highly variable - symptoms may not appear for years.
