COVID-19

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious respiratory and vascular disease[9] caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case was identified in Wuhan,
 China in December 2019, though evidence suggests that the virus may 
have already been actively spreading months earlier in places such as 
Italy.[10][11]
Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, fatigue, breathing difficulties, and loss of smell and taste.[6] Symptoms begin one to fourteen days after exposure to the virus.[12] While most people have mild symptoms, some people develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS can be precipitated by cytokine storms,[13] multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots.
 Longer-term damage to organs (in particular, the lungs and heart) has 
been observed. There is concern about a significant number of patients 
who have recovered from the acute phase of the disease but continue to 
experience a range of effects—known as long COVID—for
 months afterwards. These effects include severe fatigue, memory loss 
and other cognitive issues, low grade fever, muscle weakness, and 
breathlessness.[14][15][16][17]
COVID-19 spreads via a number of means, primarily involving 
saliva and other bodily fluids and excretions. These fluids can form small droplets and aerosols, which can spread as an infected person breathes, coughs, sneezes, sings, or speaks. The virus may also spread via fomites (contaminated surfaces) and direct contact.[18][19] Infection mainly happens when people are near each other long enough.[a] It can spread as early as two days before infected persons show symptoms (presymptomatic), and from asymptomatic individuals. People remain infectious for up to ten days in moderate cases, and two weeks in severe cases. The standard diagnosis method is by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) from a nasopharyngeal swab.
Preventive measures include social distancing, quarantining, ventilation of indoor spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, hand washing, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face. The use of face masks or coverings has been recommended in public settings to minimise the risk of transmissions.
There are currently no proven vaccines or specific treatments for COVID-19, though several are in development. Management involves the treatment of symptoms, supportive care, isolation, and experimental measures.
==Popeyes Infection==
On August 2nd, 2020 Radioactive Uber Clan leader Popeye the Sailor. was exploring a city to see if there are any Demons attacking people. Before Popeye can react, he saw evil demon Bingo and demon Lambdas son, Elon Musk without a mask on and infecting everyone in sight. Popeye shielded a little girl from Elon Musks cough and he got infected with COVID-19 in the process.
The RUC was doing their best to help Popeye fight the infection. It soon spread to other Radioactive Uber Clan members except for Jabberjaw. Despite everyone except Jabberjaw getting sick, they were able to fight it in time and got better. They realized a cure is needed.
==Search for a cure==
The RUC-COVID-Search (RCS for short) team consists of Fat Albert, Count Chocula, and Dr. Zitbag. They have been looking for a cure to the Coronavirus to fight it and save the world. They took some of Jabberjaws blood when they found out he was immune to it and ended up finding the Kezbloo Cannon in the process. They also found out evil Demon Bern plans to weaponize the virus and give it sentience to join MikeNnemonics demon army.
The RUC is still looking for a cure right now. We will add more to this page as development continues.
