Vaccine/cure efforts + information spreading/gathering!

[assent]

Hello Futuro! After asking the mods about taking a vaccine route with the virus, to at least protect those who are not infected, we have been given a way to at least prevent further spread. However this requires teamwork!

A know of a few people who are in a position to work on these things (like Urahara, Sieglinde, Sonia, Peter etc) and have been for a while, but anyone who is able to contribute at this point who I don't know of etc it'd be great if we could all get together to think of ideas and questions of how best to handle this and how to maybe even out responsibilities or to come up with a game plan. If you think there should be a network post for all this to be handled icly, one of us can do that too I think?

However!! I would also like to note that this is not limited to science.

First and foremost, if anyone has information from CYOA about the hospital or anything that would be helpful please pass it on (probably to Urahara lbr he's the one with a permanent position there). I'm not sure if anyone plans on doing an info network post for all the information people are gathering (??) Mettaton has posted with some information to use as an information post if people want to use that! though it'd be a good idea if people can share what they know and how they'll share that information here as well - especially if they wouldn't comment to that post. Other than plurk there isn't really a resource other than the dossier page and I'm not sure if anyone is still checking that!

In regards to the vaccine, they will need materials for making the vaccine which may be better off taken from suppliers rather than the hospital itself. (Especially after those CYOA responses... ack). Though if anyone would like to be taught how to test drugs for the virus and would like to help out in that way, we have the go ahead that we can do testing it will just take a long time! (They would specifically wish to focus on chemicals and drugs needed to combat the virus more than anything though so we could start there - then we'll have confusion when it turns out it's all okay)

As the vaccine cannot be tested on animals (as the virus doesn't infect animals) we will have to go straight to human testing, however, I would say it's more likely that any that don't work will only infect NPCs (yes, we know this is not humane but there are few options...alas) so if your character is the self sacrificing sort... that is another way to help. I asked the mods if it could coincide with RNGs though so if anyone does decide to become a test subject when they get to testing stages (which would be in about a month??? If I'm being fair with timing here) you would need to contact the mods about that. Please note that only those that signed up for the rng for infection can get infected! If you sign up for this and you did not enter rng your character will be 100% safe.

Anyone willing to follow directions and help out as an assistant would also be helpful, especially as vaccines need to be incubated and watched etc and there are only so many hours one can be awake...

If you feel like your character would struggle to contribute in these fields, there is also just fighting through the town to bring them food tbh...! Or anything else I have not thought of!

Basically, I am all for us all getting together to figure this out, because I know a bunch of us have been wanting to get involved (gym) I can also be reached on plurk at serves if you have any other questions!
