1980 Azkali Plague: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''1980 Azkali Plague''' (''1980-Azkaliden Tomagnai''), or Azkali Flu (''Azkaliden Tomakoz''), was an outbreak of the bacteria [[W:Yersinia pestis|Yersinia pestis]] in [[Azkali]], [[Alloti]], and partially [[Baphia]], from 1980 to 1986, and from 2004 to 2006, with occasional outbreaks continuing from then on. One of the most devestating and deadly outbreaks of disease in world history, the Azkali Plague directly caused the deaths of approximately 25 to 28 million people in Azkali - between 3 and a half to 4 percent of the global population at the time - more than half of the Azkali population, and several hundred thousand more in Azkali in the following 4 decades. The Azkali Plague first struck during the political turmoil following the coup d'etat and brief civil war of the Azkali State by [[Magu Kaizzanoudh]] in 1978, though at that time it only affected limited parts of the country, mostly in the northeast Hakainaki-ethnic majority parts of the country. The plague exploded in size in late 1979 and early 1980, particuarly among infantry of both fighting sides. The plague continued to spread among the population of Azkali, effectively decapitating both sides of the civil war's capacity to fight. By mid 1980, when Baphia invaded Azkali during the [[1st Bapho-Azkali war]], fighting had ceased as both sides attempted to combat the effects of the plague. Due to the lack of medicine and healthcare among the population, the plague spread nearly unchecked. Due to the shutdown of international traffic following the breakout of the [[Azkali Civil war|civil war]], aswell as the avaliability of semi-effective antibiotics abroad, the plague did not spread as much as it did in Azkali, though it was the cause of an [[1981 Allotian Plague|outbreak in Alloti in 1981]].

The Azkali Plague was notable for its disproportionate lethality and infectivity rate among Kalis, and the relative lack of danger for Humans and Kaneeds. This has been attributed to the differing responses of the Kali immune system in response to infection from the plague.

=== 1978 Outbreak ===

The bacteria responsible for the 1980 outbreak has been documented for several centuries, and had before the outbreak been somewhat common among the Kali and Human populations of Azkalis. Previous outbreaks (albeit much smaller in scale and damage) had been recorded all throughout Azkali history, the most recent one before the 1980 outbreak being in [[1949 Azkali Plague|1949]]. The pandemic began on the 28th of January, 1978, with the infection of 14 year old [[Maki Toihe Dhutzekavizon]]. Maki had returned from a trip in Northern Azkali, and soon after returning to his hometown of [[Harakoniaz]], became ill with a new strain of the plague. This new strain was much more infectious and lethal, leading soon to the entire Dhutzekavizon family being infected with the plague. According to a doctor named Eriz Katinovi, who worked in the town hospital of [[Harakoniaz]], the family entered and was subsequently admitted into the hospital, showing signs of a plague-like virus. Due to the hospital staff not following proper procedure, aswell as them not understanding the nature of the new variant, the plague soon quickly infected several patients among the hospital. This new variant soon spread outside of Harakoniaz, with the first case outside of Harakoniaz being recorded on the 3rd of February, 1978, in the town of [[Kotes]], a suburb of [[Mezenasu]].

The spread of plague alerted both sides of the civil war, though fighting continued on generally unabated. Due to this, the plague spread quickly in Azkali, with as many as 300,000 being infected with the plague by late 1978. The plague infected on average members of both side's army more than civilians.
