scenario

In New York there are five main Mafia families. After years of dispute and violence the Cluness family has tried to wipe out the McCarrons, using a specially developed virus. The virus was developed to be non-transmissable, but – after killing off most of the McCarrons – it is realised that it has mutated. It is spreading!!

There are 75 unconfirmed cases across America and 3 confirmed cases outside of New York… One of whom is Charlie Sheen. The virus appears to have spread to Hollywood (due to Mafia-Hollywood links) and Paris Hilton is reportedly in hospital undergoing tests.

The virus produces flu like symptoms and (after 2-4 days) extreme nose bleed. Those infected can die within 3 hours of beginning a nose bleed. Scientists have discovered that a treatment they were already working on is effective against the virus! However, to stop the spread of the virus, uptake of the treatment needs to be high (herd immunity). Did I mention that this treatment involves stem cells? Makes it quite controversial – many religious groups are fully against stem cell research… The Cluness family are blackmailing Government members to downplay their involvement in this escapade, and to try and downplay the potential seriousness of the virus. Perhaps they can push the blame to someone else? However, the Cluness’ involvement has been leaked on Twitter and many are suspicious….

How will the Media report on this fiasco??
