2020 Insanium Epidemic

The 2020 insanium epidemic was an epidemic of a novel insanium strain that began in the medium sized town of Tumbleweed, Noopaland.

Outbreak
It is believed that the patient-zero of this outbreak was a young boy who was bitten by an infected rabbit in Tumbleweed sometime before March 1st, 2020. He then spread the virus to his family, who had contact with other families which were subsequently infected. Some of these families traveled to other nearby towns, where they proceeded to infect large amounts of the population in these towns. It is unknown what happened in tumbleweed after the first patients began to turn aggressive, but it is known that a state of emergency was declared by the municipal government. All communication with the town and its officials was lost soon after. Soon, federal investigators were deployed to find out why they were not being communicated with by the town of Tumbleweed. On March 6th, 2020, a Noopian Armed Forces task force was assembled and deployed to Tumbleweed after all federal investigators failed to report back to the government. It was lead by Dr_Static, who put dirtmonkey25 in control on the ground. The task force discovered the infected later that afternoon. All task force members were given ICC gear and instructions on how to deal with infected. The task force took supplies from houses in the area and set up a small forward operating base in a motel, which they successfully defended from an onslaught of infected.
