Hey everyone.

Me and my group of friends went to fanfest this year.

In the days following the event our whole group from all over the world fell ill with flu like symptoms.
One of our Icelandic friends told us some of the CCP staff also fell ill following fanfest.

Did any other fanfest attendees experience similar in the recent days Question

Are you suggesting that people in close proximity and confined spaces may have shared germs?

Yup, the Fanfest death flu got me too... and about 10 other CCPers as far as I've counted.

Pretty brutal, I slept from 18:00 or so yesterday through until 09:00 this morning while trying to recover, with only a short break to do some emergency messaging last night.

For reference, I usually sleep an average of 3-4 hours a night. Lol

Recovering now though, hope you guys all are too!

Revenge of the Imperium. They couldn't get you in-game, so they got you out-of-game.

Lol

Been around since the beginning.

I haven't noticed anything... yet. But I am notorious about getting these sorts of things late so... lets hope not.

Biological Warfare, the new meta.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Should have bought a fanfest permit.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Concrud.

A really common malady, when you bring people together from all across the world, who don't normally have contact (groups not having contact).

Woo! CSM XI!

I got it on Thursday and spent the night with 2 boxes of tissues and a very tempting consideration of making a catheter to skip having to use the toilet every hour. Very prompt symptoms, no early onset, heavy fluid discharge with mild fever symptoms.
No clue what it was, but was glad to sleep it off.
Oh yeah, and my bed mate, sister, had nothing.

Do we have any other females who got sick?

Yep! One of the downsides of the way our world works is you're all basically sick off each other's native crap that you've gotten used to but other people haven't.

In most cases where you go to a convention in your own country it can suck afterwards, but with FanFest you're talking about people from around the planet, which is why this Concrud is worse than normal Concrud.

Rattati Senpai noticed us! See you in the next FPS!
