I thank goodness that we have not had
to broach this subject yet… but I am not certain how we handle this.
Amputations.
We had a discussion around the table
about what would happen if a person is bit on an extremity. Okay, this
conversation actually came about after Jennifer got scratched but let’s just
say we stumbled across the topic organically. Okay?
Jennifer:
“What are you guys all talking about and why are you holding a machete?”
Us:
“Oh, you know. No real reason. How does that scratch feel?”
Jennifer:
“It is kinda starting to hurt.”
Us:
“Hold her down.”
Yeah that is going over like a lead
balloon. So here is my thought process on Kharon and amputations. I think that
it is only delaying the inevitable. Immunizations and vaccinations actually
pump a weakened version of a virus into your system so you can make antibodies.
Realistically speaking, I cannot see
how there can be any sort of immunization for the Kharon virus. Even getting
the smallest trace amounts in you would be a death sentence. That single cell
of Kharon is going to multiply in you and eventually shut down your organs so
that you die and reanimate.
I will admit that I am not a doctor
but this thing gets in your blood. How long does it take for your blood to
fully circulate through your body? Wouldn’t one heartbeat do the trick? I have
to think of this thing like cars traveling on a freeway and your blood vessels
are the highway.
I would have to assume that this thing
does not spread from organ to organ shutting you down. Given the severity and
how quickly the mortality rate of this thing is I have to assume Kharon goes
after anything and everything.
I guess it is possible but you would
have to be lightning fast with the blade. And I am not certain people would
survive the trauma of having a limb hacked off. I don’t think it is quite as
simple as Hollywood leads us to believe.
Given how Kharon makes people
hemorrhage like crazy, I could not see us stopping the bleeding. I am betting
people would bleed out if you attempted it. Still, I guess it is worth a shot.
After all, with Kharon, you ARE going to die. With an amputation, you MIGHT
die. I just hope that we never come across that situation.
