This is really informative and well made, thank you! Do you have a source to fever severity and correlation to underlying course by chance? Around Minute 7:35, thank you!

[@RhesusMedicine]

Thank you for the comment! Yes that's in MSD Manuals Pro Fever in Infants and Children: "Significance of fever depends on clinical context rather than peak temperature; some minor illnesses cause high fever, whereas some serious illnesses cause only a mild temperature elevation."
