The Staccato Virus A Pharmacy. Probably one of the worst possible places to when a situation like the one that began to unfold on October 5th, 2014. Allow me to introduce myself before I continue. I am Alexander White 6 feet tall, Caucasian 30 years old and last time I checked 140 lbs. , and while I struggle to find a practical reason to write this series of papers I also feel compelled by my interior compass to record the events that have transpired. Before I begin my personal story, I feel that it is best to address the possibility that whoever is reading this has either no or very limited knowledge of the horrifying turn of events humanity is passing through as I write this. Creatures of a terrible origin currently roam the earth. From the information I’ve gathered, I am currently aware that 97.5 percent of the world’s population has been turned into…those things. Survivor groups are rare and, all world governments have fallen completely, and Law enforcement is limited to the extremely rare communities that have been set up by large groups of immunes. I should probably explain that word. Immunes I mean. Those are the few of us that weren’t afflicted for some reason that I still haven’t been able to deduce. I do suppose you have the general idea. I was a prosecutor working for the state of California, and I resided in the city of Los Angeles. I left for work early on that October day, but not before making note of

There are many viruses but Enterovirus groups, (most common is the coxsackie virus) is the main factor. These viruses can spread through direct contact from person to person especially with those have bad habits such as: unusually washed hands or surfaces contaminated with feces. An infected person’s saliva, stool, or respiratory secretions can transmit the infection.
Tony York, the chief operating officer for Healthcare Security Services in Denver, Colorado, which monitors security at hospitals throughout the nation, says there has been an “explosion of patient-generated violence” in the past several years – both from patients themselves and, often, the people accompanying them to the hospital. “Those are things that have driven this industry immensely,” York
Viruses, Plagues, and History, written by Michael Oldstone, is an insightful and highly educational book that details the history of, that’s right, viruses and plagues. Through typically dry, yet engaging prose, Oldstone recounts what seems like all of it while simultaneously bringing to light the contributions of those brave scientists who asked themselves, “why.” He focuses his attention on some of the most notable viruses such as smallpox, yellow fever, measles, polio, and later he focuses on more contemporary battles against disease.
It's March 27, 2006, I am a former college student from San Diego University and I have been appointed by the state of California to visit Bayviews mental hospital or what I heard people have been calling it the asylum. My task is to secretly investigate the premises and uncover any secrets the mental hospital is hiding. In fact, there's been rumors that this nicely built, peaceful place is not as nice as it seems to be. It's been said that they have experimented on patients frontal lobe brain in order to find the problem and cure for them and it's my job to unleash the truth behind Bayviews mental hospital.
The Iowa Department of Public Health has confirmed a rare case of disease caused by the Jamestown Canyon virus. In addition, there are two cases has been reported to the Iowa’s Health Department about West Nile Virus, which is also an illness spread by mosquitoes, along with Jamestown Canyon virus. According to the author, people who are infected by these two viruses will experience: “fever, headache, and flulike illness.” Luckily, however, “the patients who had Jamestown Canyon virus and West Nile virus are slowly recovering.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more commonly known as the CDC, is a major governmental department serving the country in healthcare. Per their official mission statement, The CDC “serves as the national focus for developing and applying disease prevention and control, environmental health, and health promotion and health education activities designed to improve the health of the people of the United States” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Most citizens may think of the CDC in situations not unlike the Ebola or Zika outbreaks, or even in the outlandish ideas of a virus bringing people back from the dead. These Centers across the United States survey disease outbreak,
I recently read an article written in The NEWYORKER called The Deadliest Virus by Michael Specter. The article talked about the Avian Flu virus, also known as “bird flu”. In the article, Specter interviewed many people, but the most important person, in my opinion, is a virologist who conducted research on the Avian Flu, Ron Fouchier. This article raised many ethical questions. The questions are as followed: Should research be conducted on this virus? Does Fouchier’s research pose a threat? Does the risk of the work outweigh the benefits of the research?

It was a normal day for Dr. Allison Winters or so she thought. She showed up to South Brook Clinic,a state funded mental institution for the mentally ill who have committed violent or other serious crimes. Dr. Winters wasn’t expecting anything new to happen today.Nothing exciting ever really happens there because due to the fact the patients she talks to are usually so heavily medicated they don’t do anything other than babble about impending armageddon and sometimes they 'd drool occasionally. These people are usually forgotten by society and most of the people who took vow to help them shove pills down their throats so they don’t have to listen to them.

January 21, 2055. A group of researchers posted in the McCrudo research facility out in the Antarctic, get ready to go home for the winter break. However, all celebrations grind to a halt when the crew receive news of a deadly virus ravaging earth, shutting down all services. Which includes their only ticket off the Antarctic: the supply cargo ship, leaving them stranded on what seems to be an uninhabited vast glacial desert. Ricky, the lead scientist of the expedition steps up to the plate as the leader believing that it’s his responsibility and his responsibility alone to keep his men, and women, alive. Their survival is threatened by a number of Antarctica’s harsh elements, including hypothermia, frost bit, and some unfriendly crew members of other Antarctic research facilities that threaten to kill them.
I’m scared, and I don’t know where I am. I look around and see walls covered in medical equipment: everything from IVs to Band-Aids. I look down and see that I’m strapped at the waist to a stretcher, and I can’t move at all. Where am I? Suddenly I realize: I’m in an ambulance, and I’ve been taken. It's 2035, and everyone is either very wealthy or very poor. Luckily, I’m very wealthy. I live in a gated community with 24/7 security, and I have two servants that tend to my every need. I like my servants, after all, they do everything I say, and they’re always nice to me. But now that I’m taken, they can’t help me. Being taken is the same as being kidnapped: the poor take you, demand a ransom for your return, then send you back, knowing that they’ll
Picture this scenario: You are working in the emergency room of a public hospital where the

The headlines are dramatic and communities are stunned as it reads “Shooter kills 23 children at a school near you.” The first thought that rushes to the head is “this is crazy.” Or, that individual must be out of his or her mind. Upon further investigation, it is determined that the shooter has had a long record of mental illness. This situation could have been avoided, if that individual had the covered healthcare. As a result, random shootings would be curtailed. In retrospect, this care could have been provided for by families and caregivers, if
