RE: What Abraham Lincoln Would Do In Coronavirus Pandemic.
Lincoln suffered from 2 instances of malaria. 1830 and 1835.
Apparently the smallpox issue may have been the full blown smallpox , not the milder version as once thought varioloid (it could be that newspapers were told it was the mild version in order to prevent public concern). The symptoms appeared after the Gettysburg Address. His negro valet William Johnson died a few months later from smallpox.

Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns
