Diseases typically mutate to become milder over time, not stronger. You can't spread when you kill the host; and mine are isolated, not in a large population so something like this only occurs rarely. There's a level of reasonability here that I feel isn't taken into account. There's no point in me taking all of these measures for a tiny flock.
