Europe and Russia become considered Fallen. Nearly half of the Eastern Hemisphere have cases of the infection. Cases appear as far East as Austrailia and Japan. Only New Zealand has remained infection free.

The first case of the infection makes western shores when an infected bird attacks a family in South America.
-
South America is declared Fallen as well and closing the borders of Central America and the United States is futile. The infection has taken over the world.
