Boat, If I read Respert right he has two different reactions. One is, yes, maybe there are more mortalities than usual; and the other is, maybe that means more complicated cases, with organ failures, which might make Leron less effective too. But he wasn't saying simply that Leron won't work -- which would bring on the short attack you mentioned. Respert is simply responding to the voice that comes out of his left knee after the second bottle of Silver Oak.
