The Forum
This forum takes place during the earliest parts of the outbreak. The number of infected animals is still rather low, but it is growing. Animals are becoming more cautious and suspicious of any odd behavior after hearing the rumors of the signs. The virus has no vaccination, therefore an animal who comes into contact with it will catch it.
Some infected animals, with strong and able bodies, but a selfish thirst for power, will take advantage of the virus as it still runs in their veins. Some have gathered together and formed cannibalistic communities.
The dangers remain apparent. The animals are at a loss of what to do as the humans make poor attempts to contain the virus. At this point, animals are simply avoiding getting the virus altogether.
