Lyssa X

Lyssa X (noun): Lyssa X (also called "Lyssavirus X" or "Rabies X") refers to a mutation of Rabies with a much shorter incubation period of several days, as opposed to several weeks. Rabies, one of many similar viruses in the Lyssavirus Genus, is characterized by causing those infected to become highly aggressive, irrational, and unresponsive to attempts at communication. Other than its rapid onset, Lyssa X is otherwise identical to Rabies. Rabies is kept from rapidly spreading because it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 years to affect it's host, but Lyssa X has overcome this limitation. The term Lyssa X was originally coined by OZORT, and is considered a fictional virus. It is also considered a zombie virus by zombie survivalist groups, as this mutation could very easily lead to a widespread zombie outbreak.

"Lyssa": Greek, Frenzy

If Rabies ever mutates into Lyssa X, we're all fucked.

OZORT

A group of survivalists who plan for ANY national crisis, using as a worst case scenario the theoretical idea of a zombie outbreak as a benchmark to ensure preparedness for any situation whereby government or society collapses. They are a large organisation and can easily be found on google or any other major search engine.

People often mistakenly think that OZORT is about killing zombies because they use a zombie as their mascot.

fictional virus

A virus that does not actually exist, but is a possible mutation of an existing virus, or an entirely made up virus that can possibly exist without defying medical knowledge. Examples of fictional virus include Lyssavirus X and Filonecrosis. The movie entitled "Outbreak" was a good example of a fictional virus.

Despite the fact that they don't exist, it's important to be prepared for fictional viruses, since viruses are known to mutate to more potent forms all the time.

zombie outbreak

Any situation whereby a number of zombies, usually viral zombies, have come to exist in a given area and are threatening the local population. There are different classifications of outbreak, from small isolated incedents to a worldwide explosion of zombies. To counteract this problem, there are zombie survivalist groups, such as OZORT, that work to allow people to discuss what to do in the event of various stages of zombie outbreak.

There was a small zombie outbreak in Cambodia a few years back, but the local millitary contained the issue before it became a crisis.
