Summary: I believe that my bacteria, vibrio cholerae is more deadly than my virus molluscum contaglosum. The main reason for this is the symptoms. Cholera causes dehydration, which can be a rapid killer to the unaware. It also causes diarrhea resulting in the loss of vital fluids. Paired with dehydration it is deadly to those without proper knowledge of it. Even though it is far less fatal due to modern medicine, it still beats molluscum since it does not have any fatal of even painful symptoms.
