      The prognosis is 6 months. There is one person who was diagnosed and lived for 10 years after, but that’s the one known case

        Depends on the prion, but you’re also talking about prognosis after diagnosis - I don’t imagine most people are diagnosed soon after contracting it, and symptoms take time to appear.
