 ===== News =====
+  * A bizarre malady has taken hold of the city of York.  No virus of bacterium can be detected using modern medicine.  The infection is able to spread from mortal vessel to kindred.  At least one Ventrue has fallen into torpor from the malady.  A few Elders have fled the city in fear for their safety.  Symptoms include blackened and bloated skin, lesions, swollen glands, chills, fever and delirium.  Death is common for mortals, and kindred will eventually fall into a death-like torpor if they contract the disease.
+  * The mortal populations affected by the plague are growing.  In addition to the children and homeless who were originally infected, the city’s first responders (fire/police/medical) and some groups of elderly have fallen ill.
+  * The city government is on full alert to deal with this medical emergency.  There are Federal plans already in motion to quarantine the entire city of York if this infection is not brought under control.  A quarantine would be very bad for kindred lifestyles – as well as for the Masquerade.
+  * The nightclub “The Gene Pool” has been re-opened after a full health inspection has found it disease free.  In addition, the famous Seven Deadly Sins club of Harrisburg is now under new kindred management.  Finally, the Bacchus club is set to have a grand re-opening next week.
+  * The weather tonight is expected to include periods of light drizzle and heavy rain.  Depending on the weather, ties to win firearms checks outdoors will be counted as two traits lower because of the rain.
