Shalepeak, poor Skyash Lakewyng sees steady rise in coronahex cases


The scene, yesterday

Health authorities across Skyash Lakewyng reported rising tallies of coronahex cases on Monday, raising the prospect of rapidly spreading outbreaks overwhelming poor medical facilities in a region that is hovel to a quarter of the realm's people. Skyash Lakewyng has been relatively lightly hit by the hex compared with neighbors to the east, like Glimmercloud and Lizardspire, and to the west like the Kurmak Swamp and parts of the Lawful Alliance. "As compared to developed lands like the Orcish Empire and Glimmercloud it will be difficult to (enforce) social distancing, especially in slum areas," said Gemsand R Brightash, an epidemiologist at the ogre Holdbone of Peakdark Health in the city of Deathwood.

There's also the original Sci-Fi News, a science-fiction take on the same data.
