What is the Plumbob Virus?
The Plumbob Virus is a rare virus that once introduced is passed fairly quickly from sim to sim. The virus affects the body much like the flu, however children and teens are at a greater risk for more serious side effects including shortness of breath and weakened immune system.
What are the sign and symptoms of the Plumbob Virus?
The symptoms of the Plumbob Virus are similar to the flu, but are much more severe and include vomiting and runny bowels.
How is the Plumbob Virus diagnosed and evaluated?
During a physical examination, the doctor will look for signs that are indicative of the Plumbob Virus, including fever, coughing and shortness of breath. A sample from the throat and blood tests are also used in the diagnosis of the disease.
What is the treatment for the Plumbob Virus?
If the Plumbob Virus is detected early enough, it can be treated by plenty of bedrest and fluids. However a vaccine is being developed for more serious cases.

Nice detail. How many reported cases are there now in Apple Valley?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. On my first ROS, I will have a death by illness. Looks like PBV will have its first casualty. Email me so I can give you the logistics of it.

VERY nice detail on this epidemic, I agree!
ReplyDeleteThis study gives other doctors in SimNation something to reference as we perform physical examinations in our hoods.
Thanks to Dr. Wilsonoff, I can refer to this study in the future.
