Close enough to call it 100% fatal when untreated! Fortunately it is not easy to spread and the vaccine is highly effective even when taken after infection.
I didn't pull the information above out of my butt.
Most stats from the CDC (center for disease control). In the US wild animals are the prime source. Especially bats. In the US before the vaccine "only" several hundred died each year (untreated fatality rate implies that's how many go it) and domestic animals were a source more than now. Of course various factors could make dogs a big source in backward countries. WHO is part of the UN so it is less trustworthy than the CDC which is less trustworthy than the devil but I think it serves both to mostly present honest info.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
Just saying, I was surprised from what I read at WHO
Key facts
Rabies is a serious public health problem in over 150 countries and territories, mainly in Asia and Africa. It is a viral, zoonotic, neglected tropical disease that causes tens of thousands of deaths annually, with 40% being children under 15.
Dog bites and scratches cause 99% of the human rabies cases, and can be prevented through dog vaccination and bite prevention.
Once the virus infects the central nervous system and clinical symptoms appear, rabies is fatal in 100% of cases.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
I read long ago about the kill rate and was also surprised!
That makes sense for global stats since most people live in conditions that are primitive compared to first world countries. That things unfortunately suck in most of the world doesn't change how things are in the US and other first world countries with regard to rabies and disease in general. Here wild animals are the prime source, it is very rare, and the shots are readily available to those who need them and pets. I wish it was so for everyone.

TrueBlue, I owe you an apology. I misinterpreted your statements and intention. I am sorry for that but there is an underlying offense that I must apologize for. I did not consider who I was communicating with. I did not think, "this is trueBlue posting" and so I interpreted your posting incorrectly. I failed to give the respect you deserve. Sir, I apologize.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
Update: The fireworks show done by professionals with near zero risk of fire was canceled because our fire fighters and equipment is mostly away helping with the forest fires. In reality woke weaklings, snowflakes, and crazy people complained about imagined things and demanded that the world change to accommodate their numerous weaknesses. The show may happen at a later date.
The Independence Day parade was subdued compared to past ones but was still good. The police and fire trucks didn't use their sirens ('snowflakes'). Absent were horses, beauty queens, and agricultural groups. Fighter jet fly overs haven't happened in a decade. I didn't do photos so here is a past parade (link).
Always for me to remember:
At the 2017 parade a father and his two small girls watched. Christina was friendly and would visit people around them. Her sister's name was Liberty! As the parade was ending Christina approached me. She looked at my small flag and reached out with an open hand. I gave her my flag. By doing that I made a promise. Christina and Liberty: I have not forgotten.
Declaration of Independence: Year 248. The last words in the Declaration:
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

@Bitkar, The dunes are within a large military reservation for testing missiles and such and there is an Air Force base. The pieces are from things that crashed, were shot down, on balloons ... Things I find are probably old since they avoid that sort of thing over the part where visitors are allowed and clean up new debris thoroughly since there can be classified or dangerous things. Probably the UXO signs mean the shifting sands revealed some old stuff and they are investigating for unlikely danger ... on the other hand I found .50 BMG ammo about 4 miles from the picnic tables. I should gather my photos of things wreckage and things.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
so it really can be old pieces of missiles or some targets... tho hose tho or what was there too does not look like it :)
Did you find a 50cal ammo or just empty casings? Live ammo is pretty expensive, isnt that :)
