  1. Getting Cordiceps and Rabies to work together as one organism would be an incredible project for an evil, genocidal scientist. Throw in Ebola for infectability.

  2. A cure that only works if you get it before symptoms manifest, there are a lot of people who don't know about rabies and so would ignore a bite from a wild animal until months later when the site began to tingle and it was then to late to act.

  5. As mentioned in the video it has happened during transplants as the virus can lay dormant in someone for years, but I can't recall any human passing it on to another because when we get angry we rarely use our teeth. Though it's not impossible for someone to bite another person, or for a person to have a cut and get some of the victim's saliva into it.

  6. It has been put forward as a source for vampire mythology - fear of water, sensitivity to light, heightened aggression and (although rare in humans) a tendency to bite strangers. Also bats are the largest vector of the disease in Europe so they are associated with rabies today, but were associated with vampirism in the middle ages.
