Epidemics

Epidemics are contagious diseases that can spread through a hospital, giving Patients even more to worry about than before, and can even infect Staff. They mostly appear in World 4 and World 5, and also in Chasm 24 if the Disaster Stabiliser for Plot 6 is allowed to deteriorate.

Abominable Curse
''Abominable Curse is characterised by a peculiar walk, reminiscent of patients suffering from Premature Mummification. The disease spreads through a powerful (and ancient) sneeze.''

Any patient or staff member walking with both arms held horizontal like a mummy is infected with this disease. This includes any patient already with Premature Mummification, making it difficult to fulfil the challenge with such patients being present in the hospital.

Appears in: Duckworth-upon-Bilge • Sweaty Palms • Blighton • Rotting Hill • Croquembouche

Jogger's Ripple
''Jogger’s Ripple is characterised by involuntary bouts of stretching, cardiovascular exercise and general health-conscious-ness. The disease spreads through a powerful (and athletic) sneeze.''

Patients or staff moving faster with brisk arm movements are those affected by the disease. Unfortunately, this is similar to that for normal fast movement and for workers with high happiness, making it difficult to differentiate the unafflicted from those that are.

Appears in: Grockle Bay • Sweaty Palms • Blighton •  Chasm 24
