BRM = Blue Ridge Mountains... where our characters are going to set up their survival camp.<br/><br/>Atlanta is merely the starting point or meeting point.<br/><br/><br/>The virus is happening quickly. Within a week everybody infected and a lot of others are dead. But our characters have no idea what's happening. In the end, it's not overly relevant except that within a week orso everything is gone and those left, are not infected. It lingered in people for a couple of days and then set off. But the mortality rate is higher than the infection rate so after about 3/4 of the world population is dead within a week, everything is fine after that... virus wise.
