Virus update
Johnny Masterson's buboes have faded, something that is met with some amount of relief until the preliminary blood culture results are back. Negative. His condition is cautiously optimistic until the evening, when he lapses further into respiratory distress and begins to have seizures.
Margaret Masterson is admitted to PICU as well with similar symptoms to her brother. Within a few hours after her admission, she begins coughing blood and asphyxiates on it. She codes, but is successfully revived. Mary Masterson is admitted to the medical floor at the urging of her son's nurses. By nighttime, she will be in the ICU.
The elder John is still in Berlin, but has holed himself up in his hotel room.
Several patients on floors that the Masterson's have visited are showing initial and second stage symptoms. By the end of the day, several immune compromised patients will have died.
As the day progresses, more people arrive with buboes. The CDC and the WHO are both called and will arrive by late afternoon. At midday, the hospital holds a press conference to discuss the possibility of an outbreak of bubonic plague. (News sources report on this most of the day and include the history of bubonic plague and likely transmission source: rats. There is a huge upswing in the number of cats adopted from local shelters and rescues following this news.)
Employees of Bruce Wayne's lab continue to work on the suit.
Morning news reports arrive from London, Berlin, and several other major cities of a particularly virulent flu as people flood to ERs and clinics. By tonight and under the urging of the WHO, quarantine procedures of those cities begin.
The virus has passed into the Marvel door.
