While working to cleanup the radiation at Terragroup labs, we discovered survivors locked deep within the underground laboratories. It is suggested that these survivors were actually test subjects and were able to withstand the high levels of radiation due to mutations in their DNA from the experimentation of the stimulants produced by TGL. These test subjects have exhibited very aggressive behaviour, which could even be described as animalistic. When approached, they attacked our team of military scientists and exposed their hazmat suits to the radiation. During this encounter, the subjects were fired upon, leaving no survivors. The team that was attacked is currently being quarantined at an on-site facility where they are being treated for radiation poisoning and bite marks.

While under observation, the injuries and radiation poisoning of those attacked had become practically non-existent within 2 days. By day 4, the victims began to exhibit increased motor function and rapid cellular regeneration, but also displayed erratic and aggressive behaviours. They have since then been transported to a secure military research facility in BioSyn Valley (also known as the Pyrenees Research Facility) where they will be closely monitored and studied.

After further research, what was thought to have been an outbreak of the Moroccan flu is actually what is being called "monkey pox," a new and emerging form of the smallpox disease. Several cases have also recently been detected throughout mainland Potenzia, however it is believed to be linked back to Vantier and their poor health conditions. A vaccine is being rapidly produced by BioSyn Genetics (BioSyn Valley) and will soon be available to the general population.

Vantier wrote:

Vantier has announced that "monkey pox" does not come from Vantier, and it was brought here by Potenzian tourists that took advantage of our lax prostitution laws, and now the disease is spreading extremely fast in Vantier. The lack of protection measures to prevent the surge of STDs, Vantier's high fertility rate and almost complete lack of married couples and relationship stability (due to very low median age, linked to an extremely high death rate) is making the monkey pox getting out of control very quickly. And that, combined with the complete lack of health care for poor people, means that monkey pox will turn into a very deadly and dangerous pandemic in Vantier.

Tuthar wrote:

Efforts to send the vaccine to Vantier have been rejected. The trade council which oversaw the approval of the project is largely controlled by the restore tuthar party, a combination of the Neo fascist party and the tutharian tea party. The group has been calling for war on Vantier but since that decision is up to the president, they have been taking whatever actions they can to attack Vantier.

Vantier wrote:

Vantier questions the effictiveness of the monkey pox vaccine developed by Tuthar, and also dislikes how Tuthar is using the vaccine to blackmail our ally, Greater Rutan.
We also announce that a new monkey pox vaccine is currently under development by Vantier. This Vantierian vaccine will allow the GDP to preserve their right of self-determination, without being blackmailed by other countries trying to weaken the GDP and its members.
We ask Greater Rutan not to accept Tuthar's demands, and instead pursue total victory. The GDP, including Vantier, will always be there to support Greater Rutan.

Monkeypox, out of control in Vantier.

In just a few days, Monkeypox cases have multiplied by 1000. From the original 10 cases to around 10,000 cases at the moment. Vants, as already explained, are not interested in any kind of safety measure and poor citizens have relations very often and with different men/women. As a result, STDs have always been a major issue in Vantier, but the lack of proper health care made those STDs much more dangerous, and eventually everyone that caught them either died or recovered, and this seems to be the case.
Many Vantierian private labs are currently developing a vaccine, mostly for sweet government subsidies. However, the vaccine is not meant to be given to Vants (since most of them are disposable poor people, and the rich will be able to buy them very easily), but it is actually meant to be sold in the world market or given to allied countries from the GDP (such as Greater Rutan).
Poor Vants, who can barely survive a common cold, will have to deal with Monkeypox now, and many will most likely die. However, the government and the private sector will benefit a lot. God bless Vantier!

Monkeypox: 100,000 cases and 4,000 deaths

The Vantierian government has officially announced that Monkeypox, supposedly brought by Potenzian tourists according to the government and some experts, is completely out of control. The government is unable to provide enough services to those who have been infected, and there is nothing they can do about our population's lack of protection measures. The Monkeypox in Vantier is spreading at an extremely fast rate, with over 1,000 new cases being detected every day. The death rate in Vantier is 4%. Of course, our citizens' lack of health care and hygiene has greatly increased the death rate.

However, the Vantierian Monkeypox vaccine has been finally released. And it costs 100,000 G.D per dose in the Vantierian market. However, other countries can buy it for just 250 G.D per dose! The reason why the price of the vaccine is so high in Vantier but not in the global market is unknown, and the labs that have developed it and the government refuse to give any kinds of explainations. And even more strangely, selling the vaccine for less than 100,000 G.D in Vantier is punished with the death sentence. The reason? We will never know.

Trobadork has just received its first report of Monkeypox. The infected person is in state-mandated quarantine, and had likely encountered the virus while traveling abroad.

Trobadork is willing to work with other nations of the world in obtaining access to vaccines and further research on preventative measures.

OUTBREAK OF NEW ILLNESS IN INDIA

A deadly new virus has been classified as PNDCH-34 after several virologists confirmed the outbreak was of a new pathogen. The virus is believed to have originated from an illegal fish market in Pondicherry and has spread nationwide to cities such as Goa, Bengaluru, Madurai and Mumbai. There are over 900 cases and 3 attributed deaths, and the city of Pondicherry has gone into partial lockdown. Air South India has restricted all flights, requiring face masks and proof of health.
There is believed to be 3 cases in Northern Sri Lanka and two in Kolkata, and the South Indian Board of Health advises all world leaders to stay calm and prepare for the inevitability that PNDCH-34 spreads to your nation.

To the citizens of South India:
Do not believe in what has been dubbed "Quack Cures" on the internet, there are no known vaccines or remedies that treat PNDCH-34 due to how recently the virus was discovered. Stay home, stay safe, and wear your mask, available in stores and from Town Halls. Social distancing is to be followed to minimise the spread of the virus. Buses and trains will be prioritised for medical manpower and equipment.

Healthcare employees are seen everywhere in ports and airports of the country.
Thermal cameras are installed, sprayer machines that is intended to spray all goods coming from ports/airports using sanitizer was also installed and all people coming from the airports and ports are subject to health scanning and questions from doctors regarding their health. The Skelleftellan government also partnered with local hotels to do quarantine to all new people coming from the airports and ports. All people coming from airports and ports are subject to mandatory quarantine for 1 month, and those who are detected being infected are going to hospital maintained by the government. And goods are also being inspected by the government. But of course, these costs aren't free so the government charged 20 Skelleftellan Kronar to every person travelling to Skelleftella if they wanted to enter the country, 8 Skelleftellan Kronar for every goods and 100 Skelleftellan Kronar for every shipping container. However the cost of a person that is infected and treated in Skelleftellan hospital is made free, thanks to Skelleftella's Universal Healthcare System.

The country will continue to suspend and ban flights/voyage to/from Democratic Kingdom of South India until further notice.

Vantier has 53 cases and 1 death

Today, a Hotel in Freeside, Vantier's 3rd most populous city, has quarantined 53 of its guests for having tested positive in PNDCH-34. The guests, all of them from Vantier, apparently had "very close contact" with Indian tourists. Yesterday, a 16 year-old girl who worked as a bartender for the Indian tourists died due to complications related to PNDCH-34, raising the alarm. The tourists left unidentified before they could be held accountable.
However, the disease is likely to spread rapidly in Freeside. The city is famous for its wild parties, casinos, drug abuse, prostitution and for being Vantier's international tourist hotspot, thanks to how easy it is to find illegal substances, prostitutes and other highly illegal things, which are very rare anywhere else. The Vantierian government has asked the city to conduct an investigation in order to detect more cases, but the local government is unwilling to do so, fearing a decline in tourism. The Hotel is the only entity who has willingly done anything about this, but it is very likely the situation will worsen anyways.
Hospitals in Freeside haven't noticed an increase in the influx of patients. They were crowded before, due to the particularly low health care quality in this city, and are still crowded, so nothing new.

The female patient is asymptomatic and in good health. She underwent a voluntary isolation at her home in Birgen (Bergen).

The Skelleftellan authority later confirmed more 1 cases, linked to the protest in Subulev Minskas, resulting in closure of the temporary land border closure with Sjevre and installation of the same precautions method that was used in Skelleftella's airports and ports. The patient was voluntarily quarantined and he is currently in good health.

"We cannot underestimate the risk of this virus", says the prime minister. Though, some journalists criticise the prime minister approach to the virus, saying it's still unnecessary, and pointing out that such "ridiculously strict" measures was taken by the prime minister too early because he simply feared losing his position in the upcoming election if he failed to overcome the virus by the time election is coming.

All border crossing activities to be prohibited once 10 cases is reached; with the exception on trade (Import - Export) with more precaution measures.

Those who want us to stop protesting, the corrupt liberal government in Minsk could not stop these conflicts without the help of the evenly corrupt Secretary General, so Ivanov manufactured a virus and spread it all over the world. To keep us from the streets, we do not believe in this hoax and continue to protest. Against this fake government, they didn't win the elections and they developed this virus to stop us.

REFERENDUM ON THE CREATION OF GUIDELINES AGAINST PNDCH-34

At the sight of guidelines implemented in various countries aimed at limiting the PNDCH-34 virus, Gargano does not stand by and the Lomellini family plans to establish guidelines to limit the spread of the virus. However, during the emergency session of the Council of the Four Crowns aimed at establishing the guidelines, the Di Sangro and Scafarelli families came out against, (defining the rules as undemocratic, dictatorial and economically harmful) while the Palombi and Lomellini families came out in favor. Given the absence of a majority, has been decided to hold a popular referendum which will take place in all the main cities in a couple of days.

7,000 more people are infected and unfortunately 91 more people have died directly to PNDCH-34 in Bengaluru and Pondicherry. The chances of Stage 3 and therefore the death rate has been raised to an estaimation of 1.7% as well.

This was posted on their social media accounts, as they pledged to do so last *******.

And for more news about the pandemic, here is the new laws on-screen read by Alish Shikani passed by the Government this morning. Please read this following announcement ladies and gentlemen, there can be legal repercussions if you don't realise there are new laws, as you may break the law unknowingly.

NEW LAWS BY THE SOUTH INDIAN GOVERNMENT IN COORDINATION WITH LOCAL PROVINCES
1) If you are a resident or have business in the following cities: GOA (GOA PROV), HYDERABAD (HYDERABAD PROV), PONDICHERRY (PONDICHERRY PROV.) , MADRAS (PONDICHERRY PROV.) , MADURAI (TAMIL PROV.) , BENGALURU (NORTH BENGALURU PROV. & SOUTH BENGALURU PROV.), MUMBAI (MUMBAI PROV.) OR PUNE (MUMBAI PROV.), your city is under immediate total lockdown due to cases exceeding 1,000 cases. This means that all public transport (buses, trains, metro etc) are disabled, you are guided to wear a face mask outside your house (and people are allowed to block entry without a proper face mask), wash your hands frequently and test yourself with the new PNDCH-34 testing kits. Parks and public events will be closed, and businesses will be persuaded to switch to a "work at home" ethic.
2) The 7-member "Bubble" rule is now revised to 6, affecting everywhere but Pondicherry which had this in effect already. If anyone in your bubble shows signs of infection, you are required by law to self-isolate for 14 days.
3) The nation's medical scientists will work on a cure over anything else.
4) Hospitals are likely to be overwhelmed. Please only call **** if you are 100% sure you have PNDCH-34. Use a testing kit to help you out.
5) Sporting events in the country like the South Indian Association Football League will be behind closed doors (no fans), and all players must test negative for PNDCH-34. The government will refund tickets, go to www.SouthIndiaSportRefund.sou to claim yours. Abuse of this will result in a 100,000₹ fine. This website expires in 50 days.

Anyone seen breaking regulation can be fined 40,000₹ if proven guilty, with heavier fines and jail time for repeat offenders.

And no, Jambi Shriyan is not sick. Despite numerous social media accounts and tabloids reporting of Shriyan's infection, a spokesperson of Shriyan has confirmed the prime minister is healthy.

Thank you for tuning into News at Tea. We wish everyone a safe journey through this unpredictable time. And now for the next program I'm sure a lot of you are looking forward to, it's the first match in the SIAFL behind closed doors, it's local bitter rivals Bengaluru City playing against AFC Bengaluru at their stadium, Green Peacock Lane, and the two title contenders are neck and neck in the table...

As a proactive measure, the government has implemented strict screening procedures at all points of entry into the country. Additionally, the Ministry of Health has issued a public advisory urging citizens to exercise caution when consuming fish imported from affected regions. The government urges all citizens to remain calm and vigilant, and to continue to practice good hygiene habits to minimize the risk of infection.

An additional four cases of PNDCH-34 have emerged related to the tourist who returned from Vantier last week. As a result, all passengers (and their households) on BE147 from Lelies to Galeabbey, and those who spent more than five minutes in the customs or immigration areas at Galeabbey International Airport between 0045 and 0130 on that day have been ordered to isolate for 14 days. The government has reauthorized the "Self-isolation Allowance" for those ordered to isolate, which means wage and salaried workers required to isolate will receive the equivalent of the living wage for each hour they would have worked but for the isolation.

Meanwhile, Freedom Party leader Sam Paul, campaigning in Joeykensport, FR today burnt a facemask and called the virus "Bartlett-34". He told the crowd to "see through this conveniently timed so-called-virus and resist the global interests trying to silence us!". Paul is facing a tough battle to retain his seat, but experts suspect support for his anti-vaccination Trumpist party will increase the longer the virus dominates headlines.

As time went by, cases of PNDCH-34 in Skelleftella has increased, although it's currently under control of the government. The Ministry of Health, Social Service and Welfare recently formed an agency called "The Agency of Pandemic Control". The agency's objective is to control the pandemic, do contact tracing, gather data of the virus in the country. "This new agency is meant to be active everytime a threat of global pandemic occurs" said Adrian Sten, the Minister of Health, Social Service and Welfare.

The Ministry further announced they will suspend and ban all trips from/to Savranakas Suurvaltas and Vantier.

Later, the Skelleftellan Government announced that they will research the vaccine as soon as possible. Virus samples was taken from patients in hospitals with their consent to be researched. The government will spend an estimated number of 6 billion Skelleftellan Kronar to research the vaccine, though the budget might increase as time goes on. Vaccine development might be slow due to lack of international co operation, which made Skelleftella's scientist and researcher all alone in the vaccine research, for now.

Cases are low and controlled outside of the border control, ports and airports so the government relaxed some measures, only retaining some measures, such as;
It is mandatory to wear masks at all times in the public, washing hands for 20 seconds and social distancing, but outside of those measures, life is pretty normal in the country. There are some public backlashes, but the backlashes are minor, perhaps either it's because of Nordic egalitarian and trust culture or due to free high quality education. The government turned down most prior plans, such as Greenland - Iceland safe haven and many other plans, due to low death rates after some medical researches though these plans are still retained in government files.

Some people mocked some of the governmen measures that is obvious though, and a person goes serious enough to make a mock government website! The government requested to take it down but the person didn't budge. The government later give up on the take down request.

REFERENDUM RESULT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED: NO GUIDELINES AGAINST PNDCH-34

A couple of days ago a referendum was held to establish guidelines aimed at limiting the spread of the well-known PNDCH-34 virus which is now arriving on all continents. The referendum left no room for great doubts, 62% of Garganians voted AGAINST the establishment of the anti-PNDCH-34 guidelines. Thanks to the result of the referendum, Gargano ratified a document which essentially states the continuation of trade, flights and the continuous opening of schools and commercial activities.

The Lomellinis, great supporters of the establishment of the guidelines, have complained about the unreliability of the vote given the absence of Ukrainians (about 30% of the population) at the polls (Ukranians are denied the right to vote by Gargano's law) and still advised to stay at home and prevent contagion. Instead, the Di Sangros reassure that the virus is not dangerous and deadly enough and that if the guidelines had been approved it would have been counterproductive, indeed, the Di Sangros affirm that the outcome of the referendum will be of great help in not stopping the great growth economy of the nation.

Now that PNDCH-34 has also reached Sjevre, Vladimir Usjkov takes all the action he can and may take. He therefore closes the borders with all neighboring countries, including the fellow member states of the Savranakas Suurvaltas. In Sjevre, the virus seems to be barely spreading and under control, this is due to the enormous confidence that the population has in politics. The competence of Usjkov's administration is rewarded and people really follow his policies.

He says that when we close the country we can wait a few more weeks before we can go on public transport without a mouth mask. Because if everyone follows the rules, there is no danger.

Vladimir Usjkov condems protests in Minsk and says Chaykovsky should be punished

"She not only endangers the stability of a country, but also the lives of innocent civilians who follow her without thinking. They have fallen into a trap and now cannot escape. I am saddened to see how a people can get hypnotized. I am seriously concerned about the future of Subulev Minskas as a rule of law if things continue like this, we should be happy that there is a competent Secretary General who can mitigate the damage"

PNDCH-34 spreads all over Vantier, and the situation is definitely NOT under control

In the last few days, PNDCH-34 has reached every major city and even the colonies. Ampuries' and especially Freeside's hospitals are closed due to the ridiculous influx of patients, and corpses can be found outside them. Homeless people take them somewhere more private and proceed to eat them, even before the relatives of the victims were notified of the death of their loved one. It's sickening, even for Vantierian standards.
Nurses are working 8 extra hours every day, and people keep dying anyways. The psychological impact on them is massive, with many nurses being diagnosed with anxiety and depression.

Still, Freeside refuses to implement any anti-PNDCH-34 measures, and the city is starting to collapse. The rest of Vantier, especially Ampuries, is considering a total lockdown of the country or, at the very least, the cities. Everyone must wear a face mask and wash their hands with alcohol before entering any public place, including buses, hospitals or schools.
Schwarzenberg has apologized for "how badly everything has gone" and he "accepts full responsibility for how awfully PNDCH-34 has been handled in Vantier". Freeside's government has criticized Schwarzenberg for "taking this communist nonsense seriously" and for "becoming a victim of communist propaganda". Freeside's population is nearly 80% black and 10% Indian, meaning that only 10% of the population has had political rights until very recently and as such, Freeside's government is very conservative (it is the only major city ruled by the National Party, and where the National Front is more active and relevant).

Many private labs have begun developing a Vantierian vaccine for PNDCH-34, now that the virus is considered an actual threat for most. However, the Vantierian government has offered foreign labs and governments (Skelleftella) financial support for the development of their own vaccines, in order to help them put an end to this disease as soon as possible.

(This is only the official data provided by regional governments. The reality is very different and, of course, way worse.)

The Bethersontonian Director-General of Health, in response to the referendum result in Gargano today, has closed the border to Gargano and returning citizens will be required to isolate. The Director-General, at her now regular "10am standups" stated that "We are taking this virus seriously, and I will not risk the health of Bethersontonians by keeping the border open to a nation that is not taking it seriously". The border has also been closed to Dmaskrass but the Minister of Health, also present at the standup, acknowledged "at least their government is trying to do something about it".

After 4 years after the recent election, it's time for another election of the Folkenlinset (The Skelleftellan Parliament). The Parliament is "dissolved" by the King in accordance to the Constitution and an election was called. The campaign period has begin. The Skelleftellan parliament is voted using a single transferable vote, which aims to proportionally represent the votes of the Skelleftellan people. Out of 5,6 millions Skelleftella's citizens, 2,1 millions are eligible to vote. 172 seats are being contested. Usually, elections are done in polling station, but due to health concern, the votes are done through post service provided by the Royal Post Service of Skelleftella. Campaign by political parties are moved to televisions, internet and etc by their own motivation, athough campaigning in the public is not banned. Here's the list of all parties, their coalition, their ideology, starting from the coalition of parties that forms up the current government.

PNDCH-34 stabilizes in Freeside, but continues to spread in other cities

After the liberals and the communists kicked the nationals out of power in Freeside, they introduced some serious measures to stop the spread of the Indian virus. Face masks are mandatory when 2 or more people are together in a same place, outdoors or indoors, private or public. They must be worn at all times, including when doing sport, smoking, eating or having sex, even if you are home.
Those detected with PNDCH-34 will have to remain isolated for 25 days, more than necessary. Thanks to these measures, PNDCH-34 cases grew by only 15% yesterday in Freeside, compared to the former 130% daily infection rate before the Liberal-Communist coalition took over.

Meanwhile, other cities aren't as fortunate: PNDCH-34 is considered to be "out of control" in Vantier (except in Freeside, where PNDCH-34 is relatively under control"). The daily PNDCH-34 cases growth rate is 35%, meaning that Vantier is still in big trouble.
PNDCH-34 continues to grow in Vantier, and people keep dying, but the situation isn't as chaotic now that Freeside is finally stabilizing. MedCare Vantier has announced that some "important progress" is being made in the development of Vantier's vaccine against PNDCH-34, thanks to the freedom and funds they've been given by the government to experiment and hire staff to help.

The virus, which entered in the country a few moment ago, arrived at more than 2500 cases. This is due to the mass protests that occur all over the country about the 'abusive' quarentine. A new law that the Leader himself created says that if someone gets out of his home (exept for getting food or for work in special sectors), they can get up a fine of 5000 USD if they are seen outside of their houses. And those illegal protests are gonna be punished by the police with a great violence. Already 14 protestants died because of the police and more than 100 because of the Disease.

It's the PNDCH-34 Black Streets law.
