What is NAM-V?
NAM-V, also known as the NAM virus, is a viral outbreak that originated in Garganta and spread globally. It is the primary antagonist in GTFO and is responsible for the sleepers and other environmental hazards encountered throughout The Complex.
What are the symptoms of NAM-V?
The symptoms of NAM-V include malaise, lethargy, exhaustion, trouble focusing, haemoptysis (coughing up blood), muscular spasms, frothing at the mouth, violent behavior, extreme lethargy or drowsiness, depression, vomiting, and deformation of the spine. Hallucinations have also been reported as a symptom.
How is NAM-V transmitted?
The mean incubation period of NAM-V is 18 days, and it varies with age. There is a 'stall' in the virus in 46% of cases, lasting between 18 days and 12 months, during which the patient remains infectious even without symptoms. The virus initially had a high basic reproduction number (R-Naught) and an infected person may remain a carrier even after recovery. The risk of contracting NAM-V is substantially higher in inadequately ventilated spaces.
What are the prevention measures for NAM-V?
Prevention measures for NAM-V include washing hands regularly, wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and informing local authorities of any known cases of NAM-V.
Is there a treatment for NAM-V?
Outside of Garganta, there are no known treatments, natural immunities, or vaccinations for NAM-V. However, researchers within Garganta had successfully killed the virus through hydrostasis, and some would engage in voluntary 'hydrostasis immersion' for short periods of time, despite the risks.
How did the NAM-V virus spread outside Garganta?
The NAM-V virus spread outside Garganta when an unidentified person carrying 'extremely hazardous material' departed Garganta. This person was later confirmed as the 'patient zero' carrier by the Daylight Mission. The virus spread to various countries, leading to a global pandemic.
What were the global impacts of the NAM-V virus?
The global impacts of the NAM-V virus included a phase 6 global pandemic declaration by the World Health Organization, a recommendation for European nations to formally close their borders, billions of confirmed cases and deaths globally, and the collapse of the United States government.
