We Bury Our Loved Ones, And Look To Our Hopes In 2010 Posted: 1/1/10
In many ways, 2009 was no different than 2008. Lots of people made lots of promises. A search for a cure was still frustratingly out of reach. People continued to die.

And yet, probably due to the eternal optimism of a better life, we continued to move forward. Rebuild. Make plans and live our daily lives as normal as we can.

XL-6 Inhibitor
Much has already been said and discussed about this forerunner in the race to perfect a vaccine for the Necro-Mortosis virus. XL-6 is the breakout drug that has had the most promising results. Despite being hampered early on by the Bush administrations refusal to grant additional stem cell research, Amcalon Corporation, was still able to take the drug to a 'stage four' phase of testing. And with it's newly announced $300M federal grant all eyes are on the California based company to develop a serum soon.

USA still not infected
Whilst much of the rest of the world tries to adjust to the prospect of being 'semi infected', the USA has pretty much managed to repel the virus for another year. No mean feat considering their have been several small but significant outbreaks the have been eradicated. It seems that most if not all of these were due to the introduction of the undead from outside sources. There was the Alaskan Ice Station massacre that I myself reported on in a 'four part report for 'The Human Race'.

We also saw use of necrotic's as cheap labor (who didn't see that one coming?) in Pink Hill, N. Carolina. Fortunately, the farm in question was closed before any major incident could arise.

Europe hit hard
Many countries in the European community suffered first hand from undead infestations that at times seemed like they were becoming beyond control. But whilst the rest of the world held their collective breath, these outbreaks were each dealt with effectively and swiftly.
