You don't.
You control,to some extent,that particular strain with a vaccination or you let it run it's course until the surviving population build a natural immunity.

Presumably they are both driven off the same sensor?
Normally, yes, but on mine the digital's calibration can be adjusted.
What does the digital show when the analogue is a smidge less than half an mph over, FerociousDog?

There's not a lot of ambiguity in the Highway Code:
Ah but is that 40.0000000 (so a digital speedometer should never show 40 because that could be up to 0.5mph higher), or 40 to the nearest whole mph (so it could show 40)?

As I said, there are many of these speed indicating devices in towns with a 50Km/h limit. They flash red (sometimes with an 'angry face' emoticon) if they are indicating 50 or over. They light up green (with a smiley emoticon), if indicating 49 or under.
The inference, I suppose, is that driving at exactly the limit is wrong, you should be just below the limit. Not that I think this detail is all that significant....
Look at the signs... technically the red circle forbids something, so a 30 in there forbids driving at 30mph.... qed, 29 is the max allowable.
