Ah, as for aim, you've got a PC, so go to http://www.aim.com, I think it is. It's an AOL-based prog but you don't need AOL (thank the stars) to run it. D/l, install, register your user name, and track me down. I give you one big huge guess as to what my AIM is (other than the fact it's listed on my LJ user info). Heh.
Hmmm. Then I suppose part of the question is also whether the biological damage is contagious, or a one-time thing. Assuming it's a one-time thing, then the issues of exposure and contamination (and yes, I do remember the stupid posters about getting AIDs - and later, NOT getting it - from toilet seats) wouldn't be as big of a factor. If it's a disease that spreads, then there's also the questions of separating the areas of society.
I'm starting to think I should move over into scifi - I do prefer when there's a hard science explanation for things, Why Stuff Is, rather than just the old 'shut up it's magic' clause. ;D
