Cleansing Rapture

Transmission & Vectors

Initial transmission was aerosolized viral load, but once the virus enters the body it moves into a bodily fluid (blood/saliva) contact transmission. Infection takes an average of 2 weeks to become contagious then remains so until the body is destroyed

Causes

The Cleansing Rapture is an engineered virus created for the sole purpose of destroying the world. Aerosolized viral bombs were detonated in all major US cities.

Symptoms

Total symptom list (from initial infection to recovery) Fever Coughing Fatigue Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Lack of appetite Increasing irritability/agitation Loss of impulse control Lack of emotional regulation

Treatment

No treatment available as virus is based primarily on the rabies virus

Prognosis

Month one: no symptoms. Those present for the bombs were treated only for the wounds resulting from the intial explosions Month two: flu symptoms. Fever, cough, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite Month three: flu symptoms subside. Appetite begins to return, but behavior slowly changes. Month four: behavior continues changing. Sick become increasingly more irritable/agitated with less impulse control Month five: rabies aggression begins to manifest. No impulse/emotional regulations remain. Months six-twelve: rabies takes full hold (same behavior changes, but no fatality). Months thirteen to twenty-four: sick begin to slowly regain some emotional/impulse regulation. Recovery depends heavily on genetics, other pre-viral conditions, physical condition during viral outbreak Months twenty-four onwards: sick "recover" as virus goes dormant. Sick remain infected for life and can relapse if body faces high stress levels/serious health conditions. Relapse follows same timetable

Prevention

Avoid contact with infected. Even with no symptoms showing, avoid getting blood/saliva in orafices, open wounds, or food/water sources (immediately before consuming) af any person who has/may have come into contact with infected or the bomb
