Is smallpox is a fast or slow death?

Death from smallpox was iffy, and slow. There were two different strains of smallpox, one causing about 1% fatalities, the other about 30%. The disease caused scarring of the skin and blindness in many of it's victims, and death may occur as a result of secondary infection. In 1979, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox had been eradicated from the planet through a program of vaccination. There have been no cases since then, and it is the only disease that has been eradicated.

Is smallpox contagious?

Yes. Smallpox spreads by airborne contamination, meaning that people became infected by inhaling droplets exhaled by an infected person. Fortunately, smallpox has now been successfully eradicated since 1979, and was the first disease for which a vaccine was developed (by Edward Jenner in the 1700s). You are at no risk of catching it.
