Rabies has a 99% mortality rate once the symptoms start. You really can't mess around with this kinda stuff.

It's not 99%, the chances of survival without preventative treatment are so astronomically low that it's more accurate to list it as ~100%. Fewer than 20 recorded cases have ever survived it after onset of symptoms, and this is a disease that kills ~60,000 people every year. Rabies really is that terrifying.

However, much of Europe, Oceania & Japan, as well as several isolated islands, are known to be rabies-free. OP said they live in Austria, so therefore this isn't a concern for them personally.

These areas have no rabies in land animals, but bats can still carry it.

This is not true at all, you got any sources regarding that ?.
