OCDZ Week 7

I had to take some time off from my own well being. Things are just getting too crazy out there. More people are getting sick. A lot of people are really freaking out and nobody really knows what's going on. I'm tucked in nice and cozy in my little fortress here. Just about every major metropolitan area in the country is currently in a state of war almost. At this point the powers that be have given up on any containment measures. They just don't have the personnel to be everywhere they need to be.

I think the fact that nobody seems to have any answers is what scares me the most. None of the experts have any clue as to what they should do next. There is no cure. The disease is 100 percent fatal. At least temporarily. I know that sounds like a strange thing to type. But it's the truth. Even the major networks are reporting that people are not staying dead. The heartbeat of someone at the end stages of infection will stop. Brain function ceases. Body temperature begins to cool. And after approximately three hours the infected individual is back on their feet. Not just back on their feet but extraordinarily violent. I believe I've already touched on how contagious this is but even I was underestimating it.

Even if they announced tomorrow that they have a cure there wouldn't be the manpower to distribute it. Hell there wouldn't be the production capacity to manufacture it on a large enough scale. I think at this point, we have to accept that we're on our own, nobody's coming to help us, and the world is fucked. I know that sounds kind of pessimistic but pessimism is what I do best.

I figure I have about 50 or 60 days worth of supplies left before I really need to start worrying. I just have to live long enough to use them all. Water isn't going to be an issue I've got plenty of iodine tablets and an ultraviolet water purification system. At this point though, supply chains are completely cut off and it doesn't look like they're coming back. Ever.

At this point I am not even sure why I'm doing this. Writing all this down I mean. It's not like there's gonna be anybody left to read it. Within a year humanity will be gone. Or At least there won't be enough humans left to maintain any kind of breeding population. It really looks like we're facing the end of the human race as we know it. And the last ones to die out will die the way our ancestors lived. Like cavemen. Despite all of our advances in modern technology we're not going to be able to save ourselves.

II can't help but wonder what is going to happen to the infected when there are no more living to feed on. Will they starve? Will they turn to eating animals? I don't know the answer to that and I'm not sure I want to. But I'm not going out without a fight.

Well that's just about as depressing as it can get so I think I should probably sign off at this point. Maybe my next post will be more optimistic.
