Please report to your nearest hospital, to be tested for the virus. If you end up testing positive you will be transported to your local containment center for further testing and monitoring.

We believe the cause of this epidemic is:
As of now, we are unsure of what the cause of this breakout is.
Transmission:
We have noted that the virus appears to be airborne, and spread by particles, as well as the swapping of bodily fluids, the spread being expedited by the sharing of close quarters.
Stats: What we know:
This viral epidemic seems to be near fatal, with a 95% mortality rate once diagnosed. The virus has been spreading at an alarming rate; studies are showing that 97% of patients are testing positive for the virus within mere hours of being exposed.
Preventive measures:
Wearing typical protective measures such as a medical mask, and protective goggles seems to be ineffective. Isolating seems to be your best bet.
Please, we advise you to stay home, under any circumstances, please do not leave your home, and whatever you do, Stay Inside.
