Spores And Gasoline Masks And Ears, Oh My
I’ve performed all of the video games in The Final of Us franchise quite a few occasions as a result of it is considered one of my favorites and I simply can’t get sufficient of that post-apocalyptic setting and but, right here I’m nonetheless studying one thing new and studying cool discussions to today about it. Everyone knows that within the video games, the cordyceps plague is unfold in considered one of two methods: by getting bitten by an contaminated particular person, or by inhaling airborne spores that are typically positioned underground or inside dank and darkish buildings.
We have now seen Joel, Ellie (although she would not want one) and the remainder of the crew having to placed on gasoline masks as quickly as they spot these formidable spores lingering round in order that they do not change into contaminated. Over on Reddit, person PlumComprehensive859 has created a submit that has drawn consideration to the gasoline masks used and why they solely ever cowl the mouth, nostril and eyes however by no means the ears. Except you are a physician or some type of airborne virus specialist, it is definitely an fascinating idea to discover, and likewise why Naughty Canine did not clarify why it wasn’t wanted or applied one thing that might block the virus from spreading into the ear channel too. That is if the virus can.
Upon doing somewhat digging into different airborne viruses like COVID, as an illustration, based on the U.S. Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention, ears are usually not believed to be a route of COVID-19 an infection as a result of pores and skin within the outer ear canal being extra like common pores and skin, in contrast to the tissue within the mouth, nostril, and sinuses, which then creates a barrier that makes it tough for the virus to enter. However that is to not say it is not possible. And with one thing as savage because the cordyceps, it appears as if it might discover any manner attainable to enter the physique to take over its host.
Among the feedback within the Reddit thread mentioned that the characters ought to have worn CBRN fits to actually keep protected, however let’s be actual, whipping out an enormous hazmat swimsuit each time wouldn’t be attainable, and have you ever seen the small bag Ellie carries for storing necessities like…comics? I believe it may need been a little bit of a missed alternative, or perhaps it simply wasn’t vital sufficient, for Naughty Canine to offer some type of ear safety as effectively to maintain additional secure in addition to add to the lore since nobody actually knew the depths of how the illness may unfold initially or a minimum of point out it all through the medical areas of the sport.
As for now, it appears as if it is an unexplained query whether or not spores can enter the ears of their hosts, however it’s definitely a cool idea to consider. Though, I am fairly certain Hazmat fits would not be sensible in HBO’s The Final of Us both, for the reason that creators of the present determined spores and gasoline masks did not make sense for his or her model of the story.
