"This is an emergency broadcast. Attention, citizens! Reports confirm a sudden outbreak of a highly infectious virus that causes violent, zombie-like behavior. Authorities urge everyone to stay indoors and lock all doors and windows immediately. Do not approach infected individuals or attempt to engage.
