Mankind, Such a delicate kind. The same kind who seems to have forgotten, that they are at the mercy of mother nature, And how with a gentle squeeze, she can turn Man on themselves, and make it seem as if hell has finally arrived.


Mankind has also some how forgotten how mother nature fuels their entire existence, despite them being energy sucking parasites to their host.. Earth.


It seems like Mankind is no longer being cradled in the arms of mother nature, Yet being eradicated by her.


11/25/2045


The virus surfaced, very low chaos as it was only infecting distant


countries, such as African Republic, Burundi, Congo, Liberia, Eritrea, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Madagascar, and Togo.


Symptoms include; Difficult breathing, redness in the whites of eyes, intense coughing fits, and mucus that was tinted with blood.


12/5/2045


Health officials beginning to do research on the Virus. Low Chaos as it began to spread to more countries. Patients flown to Europe for treatment.


Symptoms Include; Thin blood, rapid heat beat, blood from the nose, and bloody mucus.


12/29/2045


Most of Europe infected with the virus due to poor protection when operating on infected patients. The virus becoming Lethal in Elders, young children, and patients with Asthma or weak arteries.


Symptoms Include; Irregular heart beat, Weakness in breathing, drooling or frothing from the mouth. Gritting or grinding of teeth, causing bloody gums and bitten tongues.


1/15/2046


More wealthy countries beginning to become infected. America issues containment units for the infected. Begins to burn corpses.


Symptoms Include; Bloody vomit, blood from the eyes, and ears. Intense headaches. Patients becoming more violent towards healthy people.


1/30/2046


Airports, ships, and any forms of transportation to other counties, and states closed down. Check points into other cities made so the healthy people can travel to get food using ration cards.


Symptoms Include; Intense violence, and strength. The virus has mutated and become incredibly lethal. Making being around an infected person without the proper equipment dangerous. Bodies are becoming incinerated, and ashes put into a private landfill.


2/20/2046


American Government fell, riots, and war has broken out among the healthy. Food and bottled water limited. The sick now roam the streets freely without law. Without a possible cure, as they attack anything they can grip and eat alive, without hesitation, care, or reason.. despite that they are no longer who they once were.


Symptoms Include: bloody eyes, incredible pain tolerance, and the virus is transmitted through blood, saliva, and other body fluids. The infected's brain is active in all senses, yet their memories, their feelings, and any recognition is dead. They crave meat, they eat whatever they can catch, and they will not remember a family member or anyone else. The streets are no longer safe.

Just a question, you don't have to reveal details, but is there a reason for the virus starting in far off lands, other than going for the feeling of realism?

Oh, no. I just used those lands due to the fact it's easier for infection to spread.

Very interesting! Love the attention to detail on the symptoms.

 

[hellrazoromega]

I was just curious because it seems to me places where there are major airhubs would make the virus spread at an alarming rate

It makes sense because those are third-world countries with weak governments that do not have enough money to maintain good health services.

Never said it did not make sense. Just talking about the rapid spread which is less likely to happen in places where the travel modes might me more primitive (I use that word without meaning to imply the negative connotations many apply to it) it is less likely to spread rapidly--this is not to imply it won't spread. My wife is a biologist who minored in virology (I'm a historian so the technical details are beyond me) so I hear about this stuff all the damn time. In any case I was just asking question to understand the setting not the spread of such things. I know the history side of things like how the Spanish Flu virus of 1918 (which is now thought to have actually started at a cavalry post in Kansas) would have been a drop in the bucket if it was not for WWI.


Never meant to give the impression this idea would not work that way--just being curious and wondering if there was a plot detail behind that choice or just a real world analogue, for the reasons Quilboar mentioned, as well as the climate of that region which is a playground for such nasty little buggers. Obviously, Cyber Wolf has this aspect covered with the patients being flown back to Europe where you do have the major air hubs to spread things now. From hearing the wife talk I know air hubs are one of the things that gives virologists night terrors.
