Mortlock's Disease, results in accelerated decrepitude in the affected resulting in death. It is contagious during the early phases of the disease and only in the later stages is it safe for anyone to have contact with them, without safety precautions. Those with the resources can prolong their life by living in a hyperbolic oxygen tent. There on a hospital bed they will have a device inserted into their neck, to help them breathe, a catheter and various valves and pipes to keep them alive. Even then a simple sneeze by someone inside the tent could kill their enfeebled bodies.[1]
