Social Distancing

The WHOVID-19 pandemic has swept Whoville and the McDodd family must deal with being coped up together. But with a son that wants to go to his observatory, their youngest daughter jealous of their newborn, and being bored, Ned and Sally wonder how their sanity will endure this quarantine.

30. Vaccine Experiment

At Who-U

Dr. Larue met the 5 lucky "lab rats" that would be part of her experiment.

With permission from Who-FDA, 5 who's who haven't been exposed to Whoronoavirus have been selected to participate in her experiment.

"Good afternoon, my name is Dr. Mary Lou Larue, and welcome to the Whoronoavirus vaccine experiment. In this study, you all will be taking a vaccination for Whorona to see if it works. For the next 48 hours, you will be living in this facility while the vaccine works with your blood and then you will be exposed to someone with Whorona to see if the vaccine has done its job. If the vaccine fails and you become sick, all your medical expenses will be paid for by the university. If the vaccine works, you all will be sent home with your compensation of $500. I will ask all of you to fill out these forms. It asks you to describe medical history, allergies, and other questions. You may begin." Dr. Larue explained as he handed out papers.

All 5 lab rats varied in age. An 18 year old boy. A 27 year old woman. A 36 year old man. A 45 year old woman. And a 54 year old man. She didn't have permission to test on children.

After half an hour of the subjects filling out forms, Dr. Larue collected them. While the subjects had their lunch, the scientist skimmed through the papers.

Subject 2 had a medical history of diabetes, but didn't have it herself, subject 4 had a kidney removed shortly before the Horton incident, due to cancer, and subject 5 had stomach ulcers. Non had any allergies.

Luckily, Whoronavirus effected the immune system, not the digestive system or the nervous system.

All 5 subjects had a clean bill of health for the experiment, as long as they were fine with it.

"Alright, subjects, we're ready. Please sit in the chairs and hold out your right arm." Dr. Larue said.

One by one, Dr. Larue wiped an alcohol covered cotton ball on the inner arm on each subject and injected the syringe full of the vaccine she developed before slapping a bandaid on the puncture hole.

And now the subjects could relax for 2 days before they would be exposed to Whorona.

Each subject went to their room to do their own thing while Dr. Larue went to go do some tests.
