    What do we know about ReDS? Collect that information here, so it can be utilized by superstructs.

    Copied and pasted from another post: Current research we\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve conducted is showing the behavior and environment of the individual is far more predictive of communicability than those with a predisposition to lung disorders. However, predisposition to lung disorders directly affects the mortality rate as well as the impact the symptoms have on an individual. Additionally, some common sense applies here, if you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re smoking you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re going to feel it worse. If you have asthma and or allergies you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re going to feel it worse. So the surgeon general warnings, are as applicable today as they were ten years ago. Those with lupus for example are going to be far harder hit. The mortality rate is significantly higher in those with preexisting immunosuppressive disorders. We are currently analyzing whether or not the current prevention methods and outreach play a significant role in reducing transmission or not. At this point in time we suggest several simple procedures to at the very least secure your household and self from potential infection. 1)It is recommended that if you see even one person showing symptomatic signs to report this immediately and steer clear. It is more than likely though due to the asymptomatic onset of the pathogen that more than one person is acting as a disease vector in the area you are at. 2)Purchase ReDS Prot3ct face masks, they\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re cheap and easily obtained by delivery, which is currently the most popular option. 3)Have a ReDS Prot3ct air filtration system installed in your house. There are downsides to this. It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s expensive as ReDS Prot3ct creates a positive air pressure environment inside the household and requires decon procedures at entry. As such certain houses simply cannot handle ReDS Prot3ct. Finally, stay in touch with the US ReDS Central Command Superstruct. We\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ll be releasing additional information in the coming days ReDS Prot3ct was a modern modification of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"tight housing\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" design along with positive pressure ventilation systems. The design of ReDS Prot3ct incorporated some of the concepts behind Biosafety Level 2+ labs. In a lab dealing with infectious agents the air is pulled from the outside filtered and exchanged with the air from inside. The air is then passed with through several filtration units and passed out. Effectively scrubbing the air. However, these labs are negatively pressurized so in the event of a breach, air is sucked in versus out. ReDS Prot3ct is positively pressurized meaning that air is pushed out rather than in. However, it doesn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t meet the stringent requirements that Level 2+ facilities have. It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s simple job is to create weak pressure pushing outside of the house. Further, the decon procedures are relatively straightforward involving ultraviolet light, forced air exchange in the entry along with filters. All of this offers the best protection a household can have outside of a pre-fab home designed under Level 2+ conditions. Most homes built from 2006 onward have increasing levels of tight design built into them, it was part of an energy initiative later combined into LEED certification programs in late 2010. Ultimately, any person infected with ReDS obviously isn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t going to be symptomatic in the first week. Since ReDS can survive outside of the body for a small period of time there is a moderate likelyhood of infection due to the enclosed nature of the household.

    Dav\\\'s compiled list of the symptoms: * Coughing (early) * Breathing troubles (intermediate) * Pain in the extremities (intermediate) * Cold Sweat (late) * Weakness (rare cases) (late) * Muscle Tremors (rare cases) (late) If you have any other observations, please send them to me at Dav.Flamerock@gmail.com!

    ReDS, Is a highly contagious respiratory illness similar in scope to influenza. Lethal infections cause death similar to pneumonia. About 30% of acute infections end in the death of the individual. Victims that survive the acute phase of the disease present chronic symptoms of difficulty breathing, specific and generalized inflammatory pain, persistent coughing, scaring of the lung tissue, inflammation of the throat and nasal tissues and they remain contagious .

    ReDS identified as Community acquired Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Cases of community acquired MRSA with symptoms very similar to ReDS have been documented as early as 1999 in which several young children living in Minnesota died from aggressive lung infections. The cause of death was multiple organ failure from toxic shock syndrome caused by the release of toxins from the MRSA bacteria. This bacteria can be identified by the presence of the following toxins: TSST-1, Enterotoxin B and Enterotoxin C. The bacteria identified in the literature states that this bacteria is not only lethal but multi-drug resistant. Here is a list of anti-biotics that the bacteria is reported to be immune to: Cefazolin Erythromycin Ciprofloxcin Clindamycin Gentamicin Oxacillin Penicillin Rifampin Vancomycin (Source: Chapter nine: “Breakout”, The Killers Within, M. Shnayershon & M. J. Plotkin, Little, Brown & Company, 2002) Non lethal cases of MRSA are reported to leave survivors with lingering debilitations such as: chronic fatigue, non-specific pain, chronic inflammation, loss of taste and loss of appetite.
