ZNN Breaking news!!!

In an unprecedented turn of event and after months of research, a Belgian scientist has made a most needed breakthrough.  Francesca DeLamare, biologist has documented how the virus actually progress in the human host and how it corrupts the cells.  

Using volunteers who were already infected in a most secure facility, and never more than one infected at the time, Dr DeLamare and her team were able to observe in real time the way a human host becomes a Zombie.  As soon as the "Turning" was finished, the infected was disposed of with a bullet through the brain and the body cremated.  

- We have been able to understand the process through which a human becomes a Zombie.  It is amazing how tis virus not only resists to every drug we used.  It is even immune to radioactivity at least at the levels where it is still safe to use on a living human.  At higher level, the virus dies as does the host.  

The virus starts by invading every organs of the human body.  Strangely, the brain is the last organ to be corrupted.  Once the virus is entrenched in a host, it starts to mutate the whole body.  First, it kills the nerves, rendering the body unresponsive to pain signals.  Once it has complete control of the nervous system, it moves through the blood stream to mutate the other organs.  This process creates intense fever and hallucinations.  

The way it works is that every organ is separated from the body and the blood flowing to it is stopped.  The brain becomes self-sufficient.  Higher functions are destroyed and only the most basic functions are kept.  The brain is then a separated organ that is both self-sufficient and deadly.  The only goal is reproduction.  But not reproduction as we see it.  We are taking about a virus here, not a sentient being.  The means it uses to reproduce are the most basic of functions.  

1- It finds a prey using every sense.  Smell being the most efficient for it.  

2- By signalling to other infected where to find food.

3- By biting a possible host and transferring a portion of itself to the new host.

I am fully aware that the way the virus behaves is more akin to a parasite than a virus in the traditional sense of the definition thus we repeated this experiment 1000 time.  We had the exact same result each time.  The main difference is in the time it takes for the virus to finish transforming the host in a full fledge zombie.  The shortest time was 3 hours while the longest and most painful was 24 hours.  

There is still no cure for this virus.  It is 100% contagious and no one is immune to it.  We are still trying to find a vaccine.  A cure is still far out of our goals.  This virus mutates with every drugs or treatment we try making it the most deadly strain of virus ever.  Compared to it, the Ebola virus looks like a bad flue.

We thank you for your time.  For now, keep observing the official directives from your government and local law enforcement forces.  Remember, a dead hero becomes a living zombie.
