Reports show that over thirty-two wizards have attempted suicide, and twenty-five have succeeded, in Europe after contracting the highly contagious Tresvario Virus.
Pureblood wizards trapped within the quarantine areas have attempted to harm themselves after a new report suggested the disease's effects may be permanent, even if a cure is discovered. Those that failed have given statements that the thought of living without magic is 'hideous', and many stated they would 'rather be dead'.
Studies have finally begun on the disease, though are still limited due to a lack of volunteers willing to risk exposure, even in laboratory conditions. Julia Bailenstork of the Whimsy Institute for Studies has claimed that the disease might be more inclined to infecting Pureblooded wizards due to their 'higher magical ability', though this statement has received numerous critisims from Muggleborn wizards, claiming that Pureblooded wizards have varying aptitudes for magic "just like everyone else".
Despite all efforts to contain the outbreak, the virus is spreading seemingly uncontrollably and has reached as far as Denmark with early reports of cases in Italy. Wizarding communities in many countries have been entirely quarantined in towns and villages, many of which are Pureblood families.
Authorities have said homes and shops should be disinfected frequently, and residents should wear masks when they go out into public areas, though it is still unknown if the Tresvario Virus is a respiratory disease. Around 40 percent of the Europe's businesses have suffered due to quarantines and a large drop in tourism, causing more fears of a continental recession.
As of yet, there are still no reports of a single case in Britain. If you find yourself suffering from the symptoms of the Tresvario Virus, send an owl to St. Mungo's emergency room, and remain in your home. Isolate yourself as much as possible and wait for a Mediwitch to arrive.
ARIES You should be experimenting with different possibilities all day. Don't rush into a decision - whenever possible, sleep on it first. TAURUS Sometimes all you can do is wait and today is one of those days. Waiting days like today are good to catch up on homework and half-finished projects. GEMINI If you're feeling lucky today, make a few minor gambles. Don't over-think it, a little bit of daring could go a long way if you play it right. CANCER Personal issues are in your stars today with little light on economics or love. Deal with your personal issues so you feel good about yourself and they don't get in the way of future progress LEO The Universe is reactive today, but only wants sincerity. Be earnest with those around you and it will help you to be in harmony with the stars. If the past appears in the present, don't worry, only good should come from a person from your past. VIRGO There are romantic possibilities today if you approach them with a level head. By leaving room for discretion you create room for future liaisons. Today, anything less then exciting is needy, and needy is exactly what nobody wants. |
LIBRA Something completely unexpected might happen today - something that is so far out beyond the limits of possibility, you will need some time to understand it. SCORPIO Today is a day to reach out because there should be someone out there to greet you. That person should have skills or connections that can change your life for the better. The Universe sends us problem-solvers at different times - use them wisely. SAGITTARIUS All the things that could have gone wrong simply faded away. You are not always this lucky, so learn how to avoid trouble along and find what you are looking for. If you bring these two skills together, you can't help but be successful. CAPRICORN Today is the day after, and you can now see your past relationships from another vantage point. Outside of learning from them, in general past relationships should be left in the past. The stars say look towards the future. AQUARIUS Today your planets are showing you the middle road - a path with not too much or too little. Your finances are stable and so is your personal life. Instead of creating drama to entertain your self, take the drama somewhere else and keep the peace at home. PISCES Tonight will be a star-lit night for you. The day is all about anticipation, but the night may prove far more interesting. Anything can happen on a night like this, so be prepared for the unexpected. |
