CDC Quarantines College, Community Puzzled
Rochester, NY – The Rochester Institute of Technology was closed and the students reportedly sent home after what officials called “a severe outbreak of the flu.” The Center for Disease Control has now quarantined the area. Officials did not say whether the flu was the H1N1 strain.
RIT was closed on Sept. 25 by the CDC, a move that came as a complete surprise to the local community. The Rochester Police Department made no comment other than to say that they were not involved in the decision to close the school. Local citizens have wondered whether something more serious is occurring at the university.
Calls to the CDC were not immediately answered, but a CDC employee, who asked not to be named, said he did not believe the quarantine would be "completely effective."

Military Responds to Reported University Riots
Amherst, MA. – The Univerity of Massachusetts was barricaded and sealed off by the National Guard on Oct. 14, following a violent riot. Other areas of Amherst saw violence throughout the day and National Guardsmen still patrol the streets.
Reports on the reasons for the riots and the subsequent military response have been many and varied. Though Amherst has not been sealed off, traffic checkpoints around the city are searching incoming and outgoing vehicles. Citizens in the area have complained that they aren’t being told the whole story.
Sherman Nix, a retired police officer, said he’s never seen anything like it.
“Not in 33 years on the force did I ever see so much chaos,” he said. “Nobody knows what’s going on, the National Guard officers aren’t talking.”
In the absence of solid information, Nix said rumors were beginning to circulate.
“My grandson, he’s 17, said that he heard from friends that the National Guard was shooting zombies,” Nix said. He said he could not quite laugh at the idea.
“I’ve heard some other strange things on the old police scanner,” he said. “Something strange is definitely happening.”
No one in the university could be contacted, and at midnight shooting could still be heard from the other side of the barricade. An MP at the barricade insisted it was only tear gas and rubber bullets being fired.
“No one who’s gone in has carried any lethal ammunition. The situation is expected to be under control by morning,” the MP said.
This riot follows over a month after the events at Rochester University in New York. Since the end of Sept., RIT has been under quarantine by the Center for Disease Control, its students reportedly sent home.
Reports surfaced recently that parents and family of RIT students and faculty were not informed of the university’s closing and many had not heard from anyone at RIT in weeks.

These other Universities being written about are also playing HvZ, or have played HvZ this semester. You, my good K-Staters, are part of something much larger.

The Manhattan Record
Zombies! The Army Confirms! Kansas City Falls!
Manhattan, Kansas – A zombie outbreak has been confirmed by the military. Fort Riley has begun securing urban centers around Junction City.
Earlier today, Gen. Charles Mann of Fort Riley announced on a network spanning press conference that there has been an outbreak of a disease that turns humans feral and cannibalistic.
“The incidents that have occurred at universities and research facilities in the Eastern United States are now known to be preliminary outbreaks of this same disease,” he said.
Gen. Mann admitted that the military had encountered the disease at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York over a month ago and created a cover up.
“The cover up was not intended to deceive the public, but done in the interest of the nation,” he said.
The military did not go public with the information at the behest of the CIA, who suspected the disease was the work of a terrorist organization, now known as Crescent.
“At RIT, there was a group of students that survived the initial outbreak and were able to assist the military in discovering the origin of the disease,” Gen. Mann said.
Military encounters with infected humans at RIT revealed that dead bodies infected with the disease would reanimate.
“Yes, you could call them zombies,” he said. “There’s no point trying to explain it another way.”
In Kansas, he said, these incidents began in the area of KU Med and spread like wildfire through the Kansas City area. The military evacuated as many as they could and then abandoned the city, pulling back to more defensible positions in rural areas.
“I have stationed mobile units in skirmish lines all across the rural areas,” he said. “The advance of the zombie horde has been stalled. We are committing all of our resources to securing the major cities and evacuating smaller towns.
Manhattan will be completely quarantined by Mon, after which the military will enter the quarantine area as little as possible to minimize the risk of bringing the disease into the city.
