OK... I am a few days behind in my news reading. But this article just stuck out and screamed READ ME... http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20050921-5337.html
To put it in a nutshell, this is a virtual plague that has been a problem in World of Warcraft. The interesting aspect: Treatment is NOT working. At least not as intended. And people have escaped quarantine and continue to spread this virus. This isn't the "typical" computer virus. This one really behaves real world (Like the flu epidemics). This provides and interesting model for real world medicine, in a strange way.
