November 3, 2002 (Day 3 Infection) The infection continues to spread-generally in a southwesterly direction towards Wales and away from London-for now.BBC News reports incidents of what seem to be spontaneous rioting but the government slowly becomes aware of a much bigger problem.

Queen Elizabeth and some of her family are moved to Balmoral in Scotland.Plans go into effect to try and limit the spread of the virus and some government scientists are tasked to try and find a source of the infection.

Prime Minister Blair briefs President Bush advising him that the situation is out of control and he will order a general evacuation of mainland Britain the next day.

November 20,2002 ( Day 20 Devastation)
Millions of mainland British citizens have been infected with the Rage virus. Millions more have commit
ted suicide in their homes rather than fall victim to the horrible fate of infection or been killed in violence and accidents related to the pandemic. However millions were able to make it to areas in the southeast ,east and north where a massive reverse Dunkirk of sorts occurred. Some last desperate BBC News broadcasts state that infection has been reported in Paris and New York. This was actually a government attempt to keep any other survivors from trying to make it to the remaining protected evacuation areas
November 29,2002 ( 28 Days Later) Mainland Britain has been destroyed by the Rage virus. While close to 5 million people mainly from Southeast and Northern England and Scotland were evacuated it is estimated that nearly 55 million people in the mainland British population have died in the infection. Around 500,000 or so are estimated to still be alive in the country but there is now little hope for them-indeed thousands are dying or being infected every hour. Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Blair deliver a tear filled address that is broadcast worldwide-they have lost their homeland.
December 7,2002 Manchester England burns to the ground in a huge conflagration. London stands nearly untouched .
December 25,2002 Queen Elizabeth II's annual Christmas message is broadcast from Toronto Canada. The Queen appeals to surviving Britons that " our land will always be in our hearts"
January 5,2003 ( 5 weeks Later) Surveillance planes note that most of the infected appear to be dead or dying from starvation and thirst. Some survivors are found including the famous Manchester 3.
January 20,2003 American scientific teams initially conclude from studying Rage virus samples that it appears to effect only primates and that it apparently hasn't mutated or gone airborne. A large scale re-population of mainland Britain is possible.
February 2,2003 President Bush addresses a joint session of Congress attended by Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Blair It has been decided that the United States will lead an attempt to re-populate mainland Britain. Bush appeals for NATO assistance in the mobilization. Bush also warns Saddam Hussein and "other tyrants" that "while our attention may now be on a friend we will still be watching ".
February 19,2003 (11 Weeks Later) An American lead NATO force enters London. The force includes Canadian,French, Dutch and German troops.
March 15,2003 Conditions in the UN Refugee camps in Spain and France are deteriorating and there are growing incidents of anger. There is a lot of pressure to find a more permanent home for the thousands of displaced Britons in these camps.
April 12,2003 ( 18 Weeks Later) Despite widespread skepticism a NATO report declares that mainland Britain is free of infection.
April 30 ,2003 It is announced that there will be a worldwide lottery of surviving Britons in the UN refugee camps and other uncomfortable situations to determine who will be amongst the 1st to repatriate. Only those without children under 18 will be chosen from initially.
May 26,2003 ( 24 Weeks Later) Reconstruction begins as the Isle of Dogs District 1 Zone receives its first group of refugees. If all goes well plans are established to repopulate areas of Birmingham and Edinburgh in the next few months.
June 29,2003 (28 Weeks Later) Its noticed by a group of Spanish journalists that 2 children under 18 have joined a group flying to the District 1 Zone for repatriation
July 4, 2003 The Isle of Dogs Massacre occurs as most of the repatriated Britons are shot or killed by the American led NATO force in an attempt to quell another outbreak of the Rage virus.
August 4,2003 ( 28 Days Later) Rage victims reach Paris-which has been largely abandoned after an unexplained outbreak of Rage in France swept inland from the Calais region. All of Europe trembles at the thought of what happens next???
