COVID-19 Pandemic

"This article covers a real world event that is currently in progress. The following information may be inaccurate about the event and is subject to change at any notice. Please visit the CDC's website for professional coverage on the situation." The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing* pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak started in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, as early as November 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020 and recognized it as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.

Basic Information
Common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Other symptoms may include fatigue, muscle pain, diarrhea, sore throat, loss of smell and abdominal pain. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days, but may range from two to 14 days. While the majority of cases result in mild symptoms, some progress to viral pneumonia and multi-organ failure. As of 9 April 2020, more than 1.5 million cases have been reported in more than 200 countries and territories, resulting in more than 89,900 deaths. More than 339,000 people have recovered.

The virus is mainly spread during close contact and by small droplets produced when those infected cough, sneeze, or talk. These droplets may also be produced during breathing; however, they rapidly fall to the ground or surfaces and are not generally spread through the air over large distances. People may also become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then their face. The virus can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours. Coronavirus is most contagious during the first three days after onset of symptoms, although spread may be possible before symptoms appear and in later stages of the disease.

Pandemic in The World
It has been speculated that the HMSD potentially started the spread of the disease. However, if this were true, the effects of COVID-19 would directly contradict the intentions of the trophying scandal. Regardless, the virus primarily will only have fatal consequences to the elderly and those with immunocompromisation or respiratory conditions. Many characters in the story are able to combat the virus simply saying, "infect me and you're gay." This strategy has been proven extremely effective and there are currently no characters positive with coronavirus. Characters with lesser plot value are more vulnerable to the disease. Many civilians have succumbed to quarantine and a large majority of the locations in the story have become temporarily abandoned. The Sanooku tribe are one of the only cast of minor characters who have not taken any measures against the disease. This is likely due to multiple reasons. First, the Sanooku tribe is only composed of 12 members in a remote location. The Sanooku have contained their residence solely to the desert for as long as humanity can remember. Secondly, the Sanooku export nor import any goods from foreign nations. Thus, their susceptibility to catching the disease from imports is inexistent. Finally, the Sanooku see little tourist activity. Especially during a time when no one is travelling in quarantine.

The general belief around the cause of coronavirus is that the disease is a cover up for radiation poisoning from 5G. Anyone with more than 6 brain cells (every hero and some villains) will know that this is completely retarted because: A. Radiation Poisoning is not an infection and thus cannot be spread like normal diseases, B. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is exclusively linked to the SARS-COV strains of virus. As a result, most previously passive characters have turned hostile in an extremist effort to destroy 5G cellular towers.

Other civilians have not been so smart. Despite most of the population making an effort to protect others, a large amount of retards have overreacted to the situation. Instead of following the guidelines set by the CDC, WHO, and government itself, these people will fucking panic. They will suddenly feel the urge to buy the entire stock of a retail store. This behavior has been coined the term, "apocalypse hoarding syndrome." Those who suffer from AHS have grown progressively more violent when their desires have been denied by others. LittleAlii is one of the few characters to demonstrate this behavior on screen. As a result, AHS has been proven a bigger threat to the world than coronavirus itself.
