New virus is a REAL TREAT
The multibillion dollar Umbrella Corporation has lied to us all! Reports have come that the virus, code named 'T-virus', has infected approximately 30 per cent of the muggle population world-wide. It is uncertain whether magical people are affected by the virus and reports are pending.
In related news the Umbrella Corporation, whom now promises to help muggle authorities with the virus threat, is actually making things worse. It is not known how, but they are not only stopping all muggle attempts to contain the virus, a leak from one of their top scientists says that Umbrella created the virus and is responsible for its outbreak.

St. Mungo's no more!
Just hours after admitting infected wizards, St Mungo's has been lost. After hopes that a magical cure already exists researchers have announced that no long-term solution has been found. Aurors had been called in to try and contain the spread but proved to be ineffectual in fighting the virus. Inferi specialists and even necromancers have been contacted and we await their arrival.
In related news, the Minister of Magic is now allowing Aurors, to use deadly force to stop the infected from spreading the virus and the magical world is to be exposed to the muggle world in the hopes of a joint cure.

The fall of the muggles

The fall of the Minister of Magic
Last night, during a Ministry Ball, an invasion by Infected overwhelmed the Aurors guarding the building and succeeded in infecting several important political figures, including Minister Fudge. Interim Minister Amelia Bones has told every magical person in the country to heading to a secure area, bringing only essential items. A list of secure locations can be found on page 2.

Apocalypse Day
To those who are not infected, this will be the last printing of the Daily Prophet. I ask you to seek a safe haven and stay there, bring only essential items and leave any infected loved ones. They are lost to us.
Our last piece of news from us, there are only two safe locations left in the United Kingdom. Hogwarts, which is open to all and Diagon Alley, which is only accessible by a single apparition point, guarded by Aurors.
May God have mercy on your souls and let us pray for a miracle.
