The name of my virus is called Garden Cough or GC. It is an RNA genome that spreads and kills fast. Coughing is the first sign of infection in hosts. After that comes vomiting, headaches, red eyes and body aches. The final symptom that typical is a sign that death is near is hemoptysis (coughing up blood). In the end, the patients die from a blood clot in the lungs caused by the virus. The patients usually see coughing within the first 24 hours after exposure. The other symptoms come in no particular order within the next 78 hours then hemoptysis is seen and causes death typically within a week.
The usual route this virus takes from start to finish seems complicated at times. There are animal hosts that were found with this strand of the virus. Its reservoir hosts are rabbits, mice, or squirrels. Some of these small mammals find their way into family gardens. These are small vegetable gardens found in the back yards of civilians. This spillover seems to be originated throughout the state of Illinois. Traces of the GC virus have not yet been known to spread to large scale farmers. Once the reservoir hosts start munching on the plants, they leave traces of saliva, urine and feces in the garden and the virus is official out. The gardener will then harvest their virus infected vegetables (or whatever their growing) spreading it to themselves, and anyone in close proximity. In some cases, the faster the contents of the garden are thoroughly washed before consumption, it seems, the lower the risk of infection in the gardeners and their families. Yet, in fatal cases, direct contact with the contents infect the gardener initially and from then on out anyone with direct contact with that person is exposed to the virus with a high risk of infection even with little to no symptoms in the initial host.
It was difficult for scientist to find a vaccine because of how fast the virus comes and goes but it was spread so easily and so quickly that people began to notice the signs and go to hospitals faster. Virologists were able to find the genome and come up with a vaccine that killed off the virus as long as it was caught in the first five days. It seems like a very small window, but doctors encouraged victims of aggressive coughs to be checked for the disease immediately especially if they possibly interacted with any of the three small, wild mammals or grew small gardens.
