[Audio: Stop Plaguing Him, People] Monday, Week 22

[damn_it_jim]

This is Dr. McCoy.

No thanks to our charming neighbours behind the blue dome, we have both a treatment and a preventative vaccine for both stages of the plague, so put any plans to torch any more of the damned city on hold.

If you're new around these parts and/or you haven't been exposed or infected, come to the hospital and we'll vaccinate you.

If you or anyone you know is sick with the second stage, come to the hospital and we'll dispense the treatment for it. First stage too, but if you don't remember that we've been able to treat that one for some weeks now, you should arrange for a hearing and memory test while you're at it.

On the subject of tests, if you've been around enough that you reasonably should've gotten sick, come to the hospital. We'll vaccinate you, but we'll also want to screen your blood to make sure that you aren't an asymptomatic carrier -- we've found a few of them so far. If that's the case, then you're a walking, talking vector to reinfect people until we can give you a course of drugs to clear the bug from your system. This isn't something to be ashamed of, it's just something that you need to get sorted out. Don't be an idiot out of some sense of misbegotten pride or guilt or whatever screw's come loose.

McCoy out.

[Have a tired smile from Bruce, who has already been helping out around the hospital and sickrooms as much as possible since Saturday.]

If there's anything I can do to help as far as vaccinations and treatments are concerned, don't hesitate to let me know. Professor Lyall worked me into the rounds already.

If I didn't know better, I'd almost think you were trying to call 'em out.

I just woke up not long ago. Should I come to this hospital then?
