Tts humour value has decreased to match that of Culex Pipiens and this virus has no aggregate effect on our systems so repeated infection attempts will cause no symptoms other than mild irritation. It is expected to mutate into an Acquired Humour Deficiency Syndrome agent in the near future, countermeasures are already in place.
