Mystery disease blamed for deaths in Ferunce Confederacy Date: July 10, 2019
As an unusual spree of deaths continues in the Ferunce Confederacy, there is growing consensus that an as-yet unknown disease is behind numerous deaths and many more cases. Over the past few weeks, reports emerged of people in the country of 2.3 million succumbing to a condition, which was often described as "being virtually impossible to treat." While the cause of the deaths and infections has yet to be confirmed, blame has recently shifted to a new, possibly-viral disease. Several health experts have noted similarities between the purported disease and existing viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF). Symptoms such as vomiting and excessive bleeding have been noted in cases in the Ferunce Confederacy. The mysterious disease also manifests in as early as 2 days after potential infection, which is comparable to other diseases like Ebola disease and Toloupum fever. However, a definitive assessment is currently unavailable. Outside observers have become increasingly worried about the situation in the Ferunce Confederacy. The region is noted to have a substandard healthcare system and access to professional medical resources is severely limited. The Pavonistadian Health Minister, Benjamin Shanahan, has declined to comment on any potential intervention or assistance. However, he stated that the Ministry of Health is monitoring the situation closely and stands ready to assist the government of the Ferunce Confederacy. In Other News...
