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.
