Death toll rises, no cure in sight.By Franklin AbbottThe death toll from the mystery virus plaguing reincarnates this past week continues to rise on an exponential scale. Despite this, there doesn't seem to be a workable cure developed.
"We're doing our best," An anonymous spokesperson from the medical field said Monday morning. "We've got top scientists working on this. This virus is like nothing we've ever seen. It mutates rapidly. The second we think we're making headway, it changes."
While as of right now there hasn't been any cases of non-reincarnates becoming sick, the United States government is already preparing a disaster plan. Michael Chapley, a representative from FEMA, assures us.
"We've got quarantine plans in the works should any non-reincarnates get sick. We've already got supplies rationed out in bunkers. We're sure we're over-planning, but it's better to be prepared should it happen. Viruses are known to mutate and jump species. That's how we ended up with HIV and AIDS after all."
When asked if they have a quarantine plan for the reincarnates who are currently sick, Chapley responded in the negative. "Our purpose is to keep US citizens safe. Since the jury is still out on whether or not Reincarnates are human, which determines their eligibility for citizenship, my job is only to protect non-reincarnates."
If you or a loved one starts displaying flu-like symptoms, it's suggested that you get checked out at a hospital just to be safe. "We'd rather an influx of false alarms than to miss a potentially true case out there infecting other people."
As for reincarnates, when reached for comment from their Agency, representatives urged all reincarnates feeling sick to get themselves immediately checked into a clinic.
