Correct, the source of the fever was never specified, all we know is that the only prescription was more cowbell. This was a real concern for the CDC and the WHO at the time, but the fever appeared to subside on May 21, 1976, when the song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” was released by the Blue Oyster Cult, potentially saving millions of lives.

And yet, the fever for which the only prescription is ‘more cowbell’ has needed to be cured in so many other recording sessions…
My god, think of how ill The Rolling Stones must have been when they recorded Honky Tonk Women!
It truly is the forgotten pandemic.
