Speaking just for myself I'll just say that I have no interest in any form of "outbreak", "plague", or similar epidemic based RP. There are all sorts of problems and negative implications that come up from these. Among these are that it alters radically a character's RP in a way that won't make any sense to those who don't accept it as canon, its so wide-open that it leaves you unable to craft simultaneous or near-future story as well, and really (the bottom-line for me) its not fun. If treated believably and plausibly its simply awful and terrible. A vehicle for meaningless suffering against an intangible foe. That might make something of an interesting horror story, but I can't see it making for RP that I'd actually want to engage in.
