also i think the "*" on the attention thread might just be bad formatting when creating the list.. personally I couldn't even manage or make my response a block quote... very weird formatting rules there.

here's what I sent, I'll post a copy up on the IG forums as well...

The blindness seems to be spreading through a parasitic infection that's affecting the normal activity of the pupils. When studying pictures obtained from the Gold Ward, where Audrey's sister (also immune) is depicted with red eyes, it seem she may have conjunctivitis. By having blind Ward members wear the protective glasses, it's unlikely that might contract conjunctivitis themselves. It's my belief that conjunctivitis present in Audrey's sister (and likely Audrey through close contact before separation) is the reason behind their immunity to the White Sickness. Conjunctivitis may counteract the parasitic elements in the eye and help the blind see again. Afterward, simple treatment for conjunctivitis would present any serious effects it might cause in the long term.
Nice. Hope you get a reply, and curious as to what it may be.

odd, the new poster... by baracudaboy in heard on the IG forum... it says it was posted 13 hours ago but I've been pretty sleepless tonight and I KNOW I've checked up on the site before then. Unsure if that merits any attention, but I'm probing in case he's IG.
lots of personal information of his on the board now... seems a bit much for someone who claims to have stumbled on the site by hitting 'back' on his browser.

Definetly fishy (or should I say, Phishy !) Not only did he triple post, but he gave two phone numbers and reasons why both might not work right. Did anyone try to call him?

No movement for a few days...what's going on??
BTW, anyone in the Boston area going to the movie? I'm heading in with a few friends to the AMC at the Boston Common tomorrow afternoon. And yes, I will be wearing the glasses

So I just got the glasses and the white card that has "i am blind" on it. And an envelope. What are we supposed to do with this?
Sorry, I've been away from this game from a while.

Holy cow! 1/3 infected! So, I think it's safe to say we need more evidence before making any more guesses. I'm just not sure who we can get information from at this point.
ETA - Bemily is infected and posting in Heard as well...

MrToasty, can you post a note in heard to remind everyone to check the attention attention thread before posting? I searched and didn't see contact info for her. I'd post but I just got on the infected list. Would it be all right to contact you if I need to post anything in heard?

I'll do that just now, and feel free to use me as a proxy if you need to.
ETA - clairenor bumped the 'New Infected' thread in Heard with the link. Good enough or do we need to make it clearer?

I reckon that some confined to Quarantine are as yet not infected. Moderator's draconian solution

While my belief has been that a preventive vaccine was more likely than a cure can someone who talks with Audrey twitter her with this update and ask what sort of testing she has had recently?
