D3MoNiAc reports on the latest on dragon cough.

After ten years of hiatus, I made my return to Whyville. After a few months, this grey feathered disease showed up on a few people. Those people were lucky it only lasted three days to start. When I finally got it, I was excited. Sure, most people found it annoying, but for me, I had fun with it.

Early on, I found out if you move your avatar while swooping it would glitch the swooping animation. This glitch would make your avatar appear sideways, or backwards depending on when you clicked the new spot. You'd go back to normal if you let the next swoop finish. Unlike the first batch of "victim" mine lasted a week and a half, good thing for me though is that I'm not very sociable.

Dario4 reports on the latest waves of the virus.

So recently, the second wave of the Dragon Swooping Cough hit Whyville. So what is the Dragon Swooping Cough? Well, it is an epidemic that has hit Whyville twice (so far). When you get it for the first time, you get grey scales, lose salary, and occasional fly and roar, infecting others. If you get it for the second time, you get red scales, lose salary, and spit fire.

Most people don't want the Dragon Swooping Cough, as shown by the number of people who donated for a vaccine. Others actually want to get it, and others don't care. Getting the Dragon Swooping Cough does not have any long-term affects, but it still is a bit annoying, especially because many people will steer clear of you.
