The World Health Organization has recently declared a phase 5 pandemic alert. A disease of unknown etiology has spread to more than 30 countries around the globe. Over the last several years, dozens of deaths have been reported in almost every major city around the globe, the rate of which appears to be increasing. Patients report a rapid onset of flu-like symptoms, paraesthesia, exhilaration and hysteria and death occurring within twenty-four hours. Targeted population has been male in their early-mid 20’s and females in mid-late teens. The disease does not seem to be associated with any race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or previous health status. Until the microbiological agent has been identified, the WHO urges everyone to report outbreaks in your area to their physician or to the local Custody of Public Health. In the meantime, the situation will be closely monitored regarding future travel and event restrictions.
