It has been a three weeks since you discovered the island. You have successfully created your islands mission/vision/values statement, formed a government, and developed a health policy.

As you suspected, individuals from BuckBadgerton have attempted to migrate to your flourishing island. It is your responsibility to now enforce your founded national policy to deal with this influx of individuals.

During this time of high stress, illness begins to appear on the island. Two specific conditions develop:

  1. 1. Pluff Mud Fever: Pluff Mud Fever is similar to the flu. The most common symptoms of this illness are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, headache, and coughing. It is spread primarily through contact with others who are infected. Usually, the illness passes within four days, with no major complications. However, you note that this illness is more serious in the elderly population. The elderly require a significant amount of monitoring to successfully recover from Pluff Mud Fever.

  1. 2. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): You note that 10% of the children in elementary school are developing attention problems and hyperactivity. While the symptoms initially appear to be innocent, you worry that this may interfere with these childrens ability to get the most out of their education. Unlike Pluff Mud Fever, ADHD is not contagious and you begin to suspect there may be a genetic link. Further research is needed to learn more about this disorder; however, this research will be extremely expensive.

Given this new information:

  1. 1. How will you move forward to ensure prosperity among the island, particularly since you may have refugees from BuckBadgerton?

  1. 2. How will you contain the Pluff Mud Fever and deal with ADHD?

3. If you wish to move forward with research or other funding, where will you obtain this money?
