The '''WIRS Pandemic''' is a pandemic involving the [[WIRS-CoV]], a strain of the {{wp|coronavirus}}. There are two waves that occurred, with the first lasting from 27 December 2024 to 4 April 2025, and the second from 21 February 2026 to 10 June 2026. The pandemic has totaled 752.14 million{{spaced ndash}}1.85 billion confirmed cases, with its death toll at an astounding 219.97{{spaced ndash}}255.76 million according to rough estimates, making it the deadliest pandemic to ever occur in [[Eordis]].

==History==

===First Wave (December 2024-April 2025)===

The first cases were confirmed on 30 December 2024 in Lorica, with patient zero, according to a released CDC report, stating that he was infected three days before. 

===Second Wave (February-June 2026)===

This wave emerged on 21 February 2025, originating in Concordia. It was discovered that the virus had mutated to take on traits of the [[CONCORBO]] virus, a strain of {{wp|Ebola}}. Designated [[WIRS/N26-CoV]], this new strain of the virus can cause similar symptoms of WIRS, but can induce {{wp|hemorrhagic fever}} upon a patient after 10{{spaced ndash}}15 days after incubation. Afterwards, combined with pneumonia, shock ensues and the patient dies. With this characteristic, WIRS has undertaken a new variation that has induced more deaths than the first wave, including the original WIRS. Moreover, the new variation of the diseases has been designated WIRS Type II.

==Virology==

===WIRS-CoV===

===N26 mutation===

The N26 mutation of the virus allows it to induce similar symptoms of WIRS but can induce hemorrhagic fever and internal bleeding upon a patient; the mutation has also been designated as "WIRS-26nCoV," "Wave 2 WIRS-CoV" and "WIRS-CoV-pdm26w2." Because of this and it has been rampant alongside the original WIRS, N26 presents a more lethal form of the disease.
