Welcome to the second edition of Think About It. In this issue, we'll be covering the Necora Virus. Without furthur adue, here is.. Think about It!
Intro!
If your reading this you probably are a well hardened Plague Inc. Player. We all know the post that alert that asks "What would happen in real life?" It turns out, all these viruses and events can happen, even the special ones such as the Necroa Virus. I'm here today to tell you about some Pandemic Outbreaks and diseases that happen in game, and in real life. This is... Think about it!
Necroa Virus and researching
To start off, we'll do the Necroa Virus. I looked up it, and I found a CDC blog dedicated to Zombie Preparedness. I looked deeper, and I found some stuff on these so called "Zombies" In a Fictional medical journal presented in Night of the living dead, the author [Harvard psychiatrist Steven Schlozman] wrote about Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome, caused by an infectious agent.
With this Fictional case, I decided to look at some News Articles. As I looked, I found about 20+ Articles, So I'll show you the most recent ones.
Cases
2002 A.D., St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands-
A Bloated, Waterlogged zombie washed up on the shores of the island. People kept their distance, and once the authorities came, they fired several shots at it. Not until a Young Boy grabbed the zombie, a Tourist grabbed an officer's gun and shot the zombie in the head, killing it.
2001 A.D., Sidi-Moussa, Morocco-
In a small Moroccan fishing town, a widespread "Hysteria" case affected 5 people, urging them to kill their relatives in order for human flesh. Those affected were bound with ropes and weights, and dumped into the sea. This is the proof from a small story on a French Newspaper article.
There are dozens of more recent stories, but I focused on zombiepedia.
Now tell me, Do you think zombies are real? Post in the comments below!
I'll see you in the Next Edition of.. Think About it!
