What is Necro-Mortosis?

This site is intended to help you better understand the virus known as 'Necro-Mortosis', and also enable you to be prepared should an outbreak occure within your area.

Origin of the virus: The first reported cases of Necro-Mortosis were recorded in Haiti in early 2006 . It soon spread to The Dominican Republic, followed by Puerto Rico. In late 2006 cases were reported in Central and South America, Southern and Eastern Europe, parts of Asia and the Middle East.

Part of the rapid spread had been attributed to it's early stages resembling the flu virus and so with mass travel being a way of modern life, many people who were unknowingly infected were free to travel throughout the world.

Who can be infected? The contraction of Mortosis is a risk to any gender, race, age group. At this point in time the virus is none species transferable

Mortosis is transferable through the exchange of blood, saliva or other bodily fluids, including bites.

Mortosis can be contracted through sharing of needles. Virus can be sexually transmitted (if partner is infected)

There is no known antidote at this point (Beware internet scams claiming to sell cures or inhibitors)

Mortosis is NOT airborne

Only infected people will reanimate upon death.

None infected people or people who die of natural causes do NOT rise.

If bitten, (or otherwise infected) on an arm or leg, severing the affected appendage may remove the infection, but only within the first few minutes of exposure. Burning the affected wound will only act to cortorize the wound. Not remove the infection.

Animals exposed to the Necro-Mortosis virus will become sick and die but do not reanimate. Livestock exposed must be destroyed.

• In March 07, The UN General Assembly drafted the following "Code of Conduct".
  It is a legal guide that all member nations adhere to and enforce regarding the treatment of Mortosis sufferers.
  
  A summary of those laws passed are as follows:
  
  If you suspect a person of being a carrier of the Necro-Mortosis virus you must contact authorities within your area (anonymous tip lines are available in all member states). Failure to do so within 24 hours is a crime.

• You are allowed to restrain by reasonable force but may not harm or kill a suspected carrier of the disease. To harm or kill a carrier will be considered a criminal act and state and government laws will apply in seeking prosecution.

• To secrete or harbor from authorities either an undead or a carrier is illegal and open to prosecution.
  
• Once an individual has been diagnosed with the virus, he or she will be taken to a government run observation facility. No further contact is allowed between the infected and outside family members or friends until a determination is made.

• To knowingly falsely accuse an individual (either publicly or to the authorities) of being a carrier is not considered a criminal act, but restitution may be sort by the plaintiff in civil court.

• Disposal of a deceased carrier is against the law. Local authorities must be contacted. A specially trained disposal crew will be dispatched (usually within 24 hours) to collect the deceased. Areas of high contamination may have public drop stations (check with your local authorities for a list of the ones nearest to you).

• A reanimator may be 're-killed' with any reasonable amount of force considered necessary. However, said force must be appropriate to the situation. Uncontrolled methods such as spraying gun fire, or explosives that may harm others within the vicinity is considered against the law.

• The killing of a reanimator must include the elimination of the brain as a functioning organ.

• Cremation of a reanimat is against the law. All bodies must be disposed of by local authorities.

• All undead bodies, once re-killed, must be bound securely. If they have personal identification upon their person, it must remain there. To remove it is against the law. They may be 'bagged and tagged'. Contact your local authority to receive a free body bag and tagging kit. The tag is for their identification (if known), date and time of death, and your contact information (optional).

• The use of a reanimator for sport, entertainment, sale or financial gain is against the law.

• The sale of a reanimator or 'Trophy' parts thereof is against the law.

• The sale of organ parts of a reanimator is against the law.

• Desecration of a reanimator, or use thereof in a profane, defiled or debased manner is against the law.

• The filming of a re-killing is legal, but the sale and profit of said video is illegal.

• Any website showing the re-killing of an reanimator for profit or notoriety is committing an illegal act and breaking international law. Legitimate and recognized news organizations are the sole exception.

• local authorities and state government are considered exempt from lawsuits pertaining to matters related to the disposal of an infected individual.

• Once mortification and reanimation of a deceased individual has occurred, said reanimator becomes the property of the local and state authorities.

• Before terminating an undead, a reasonable attempt to communicate with and so clearly identify said target as a reanimator must be made wherever possible.
