What is Queue?

Queue was first identified in 2018 during a major public event in Neo-London, initially leading to confusion and theories of mass hysteria. Dr. Alistair Linehan later successfully isolated the *Lineritis viridae* (LNV), definitively establishing its viral origin and revealing its unique neurological impact on social behavior and compulsive actions.

Symptoms

  • Early Stage: Increased anxiety, mild restlessness, and irritability when not waiting in an organized line.
  • Intermediate Stage: Spontaneous queue formation, significant discomfort or agitation outside of linear arrangements, and mild cognitive fixation on linear patterns.
  • Advanced Stage: Profound inability to leave a queue, even if irrational; catatonic-like states while waiting; and social withdrawal except in queue settings.

Transmission

The *Lineritis viridae* primarily spreads through close proximity in crowded, confined public spaces, particularly where people are standing in lines for extended periods. Direct contact with infected individuals (e.g., through shared physical spaces in a queue) and indirect contact via contaminated high-touch surfaces in waiting areas are the main routes of transmission.

Contagious Period: Varies by disease

Prevention

  • Maintain personal space and avoid overly crowded environments, especially those prone to long waiting times.
  • Practice 'Queue-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy' (Q-CBT) to identify and challenge nascent queuing urges.
  • Stay informed about local outbreaks and potential 'Queue-prone' events or locations.
  • A highly effective vaccine, *LineritisVac*, is now widely available and recommended for all at-risk populations.
