But whilst you are discussing diseases in game - you can have full resistance to everything. (Natural resistance + buffs) - and you will still contract Corprus Disease. I'm not entirely sure if Corprus could even be considered as a "disease". I mean, yes, I know its technically a spreadable, contagious disease, but its more akin to a curse than anything else. It doesn't even have a damn cure! Unless, that is, you're some kind of Reincarnated Messiah figure. Which most Thalmor Soldiers are not (I hope). Now the Knahaten Flu?

That was pretty much biological warfare. All the Argonians would need is another bout of THAT (along with some warnings for their non reptilian allies) and the Aldmeri Dominion would be pretty much done. I was going to say ... um, its literally called Corprus Disease :P

And the lack of a cure does not mean that it is not a disease - just that noone has found a cure for it, or that it is a very advanced disease.

As for the Knahaten Flu ... they have said a few times that its important to the story somehow (Ebonheart Pact story, that is), much like Foalchu is for the Daggerfall Covenant ... and presumably the Maomer for the Aldmeri Dominion.
