Official Statement from the Regional Government of KillerDiller Kalinin K7 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Welcome to the KDKK7 XVI State Broadcast. I'm Robert Yoger, and it is currently 7:45 PM on the 27th of October, 2016.
There has recently been reports of an unspecified number of infected people on the Semi-Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island, the sole island of the country Kalinin K-7. Known to be a flat, marshy island, repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt with concrete during historical wars, it came in the possession of Kalinin K-7 after the previous claimer of the island sold the island to Kalinin K-7 for only 100,000 Alpha Unoes. Its midget inhabitants, formerly slaves of many different countries during those historical wars, are now under the protection of the Government of Kalinin K-7, and have lived in tranquility ever since.
This all changed only 12 hours ago, though. A mysterious illness appears to have begun to plague the islanders, making them fatigued, sluggish, and blank. This illness soon appeared in up to 50% of the island's population, or about 100 people. Because of this local pandemic, the Bureau of Health and Medicine declared a State of Emergency for the Semi-Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island. Medical researchers and doctors quickly appeared on the scene after enduring a 5 hour flight to the isolated island, and have been perplexed by this medical condition.
As of now, we have the Lead Doctor from the Bureau of Health and Medicine on the phone, Dr. Albert Marsque. Dr. Marsque, what do you have to say?
"Hi, Robert! Thank you so much for inviting me on the broadcast! I really appreciate it. For the time being, we don't exactly know what is happening to the islands, though we do suspect some kind of interaction with the moderately high radiation levels in the area, which have only dropped to the Maximum Habitable Radiation Level a year ago. The islanders appear to be displaying a decrease of brain activity in the Prefrontal Cortex, which is vital to decison-making and problem-solving, and an large increase of brain activity in the Paleomammalian Cortex, especially in the Hypothalamus, where instinctual and unconscious thoughts occur. This is causing the islanders to display an increase odd, anti-social, and generally unusual behaviors, such as banging down their houses, wandering around aimlessly, or even showing random acts of affection to strangers in the form of hugging and kissing. Testing their blood, we have found traces of the notorious but now rare disease Mucormycosis, caused by fungi in the order Mucorales. However, there seems to be much higher concentrations of this fungi within the brain tissue than in normal body tissue, and we expect that this pathogen may be causing the problem. The fungi appears to have evolved into a fungi similar to the genus of fungi known as Cordyceps, popularly known as the "mind-controlling fungi" of many insects, though our medical researchers are further researching this medical condition."
Thank you, Dr. Marsque, for your statement. The Epidemic of Rind-Iller Island is now an ongoing news story, and we will continue publishing updates to the story. Thank you for your attention.

Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine - Official Report on Rind-Iller Island Epidemic and Future Courses of Action:
On October 27th, 2016, an illness spread rapidly across the population of the Semi-Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island, presenting symptoms including Alien Hand Syndrome, chemosis, Cotard's Delusion, delirium, edema, facial pain, fever, nasal congestion that progresses to black discharge, necrobiosis lipoidica, sinusitis, stupor, thrombosis, and Todd's Syndrome. These symptoms vaguely pointed to a possible infection by Mucormycosis, and this was promptly investigated by medical researchers. This was confirmed, as those infected showed large numbers of the pathogen relative to those uninfected, though the pathogen, Mucor ellipsoideus, was found to be an undiscovered strain of the fungus. This fungus was found in increased numbers within the blood vessels of the brain and the skin, and was found to alter neuronal activity in the brains of the affected presumably causing the aforementioned symptoms. It was also found (normally) to cause fungal hyphae to grow in and around the blood vessels of those infected.
Though the diagnosis of the disease may have been simple, the epidemiologists of the Bureau how found that the disease is very likely to rapidly spread throughout the population. There has already been three reported cases among the doctors and medical researchers that have returned from Rind-Iller Island, and dozens more are presenting the beginning symptoms of the disease. There is a prediction that the disease will begin to exponentially spread throughout the population, and become noticeable by October 31st, 2016. We ask that all citizens wash their hands regularly, limit contact with those who are sick, and begin wearing face masks regularly. The Bureau is now in the midst of developing an effective treatment to the new strain of Mucor ellipsoideus, as though the logical treatment for the fungus, Amphotericin B, partially treats the disease, it is mostly ineffective.
The Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine will be expanding its local subdivision at the Semi Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island into a medical research center and primary treatment center for those infected. The Bureau has also successfully negotiated for the building of Rind-Iller Medicine and Pharmacy to be converted into a major medical research center for the Bureau to help monitor the progression of the disease in the islanders and help create a legitimate treatment for the disease.
Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine - EMERGENCY REPORT on RIND-ILLER EPIDEMIC
The Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine would like to announce that the Semi Autonomous Region of Rind-Iller Island is now under MANDATORY QUARANTINE, due to the explosive and destructive progression of the disease among all of the island's inhabitants. As a result, the Kalinin K-7 Armed Forces are now patrolling the island by sea and air, and no inhabitants of the island are allowed to exit the island.
The Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine would also like to establish a formal name for the disease the caused the Rind-Iller Epidemic, which will hereafter be called Rind-Illeritis, referring to the first recorded case of the disease. Rind-Illeristis is now an approved clinical diagnosis, and any diagnosis of Rind-Illeritis[/b] must be reported to the Bureau.
The Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine has also established a formal stage of progression for [i]Rind-Illeritis, created from the sparse research conducted on Rind-Iller Island and the Bureau Headquarters, which is listed below:Rind-Illeritis Stages of Progression
Stage One: Low-Grade Fever, Mild Delirium, Nasal Congestion, and Sinusitis. Starts four to twelve hours after infection. Initial Symptoms of the Disease.
Stage Two: Alien Hand Syndrome, Chemosis, Cotard's Delusion, Delirium, Edema, Facial Pain, Fever, Nasal Congestion that progresses to Black Discharge, Necrobiosis Lipoidica, Sinusitis, Stupor, Thrombosis, and Todd's Syndrome. Starts around a day after the first signs of Stage One symptoms. Active Infection by the disease; rapid progression of fungal hyphae.
Stage Three: Aggression, Complete Loss of Executive Function in the Brain, General Hypothermia of the Body, General Necrosis of the Skin and Blood Vessels, Loss of Motor Control, Nasal Congestion that progresses to Continuous Black Discharge, Severe Necrobiosis Lipoidica, Permanent Loss of Consciousness, Somnambulism (sleepwalking), and Widespread Bodily Hemorrhage. Starts around a day after the first signs of Stage Two symptoms, though symptoms may also begin appearing during Stage Two or even the late progression of Stage One. Infected victims are extremely contagious; attempt to spread the disease through biting, coughing, sneezing, and bringing their bodily fluids in contact with the healthy. This is the most noticeable stage; very "zombie"-like.
Currently, the Kalinin K-7 Bureau of Health and Medicine is actively making progress towards a cure for Rind-Illeritis, but the full force of the disease will strike before the cure will be distributed throughout the nation. Please practice preventive measures against Rind-Illeritis, and stay healthy.
