In chapter 2, Chief said that Ghost Virus manipulates the victim's cells and that "none of your tissue remains the same." Does that mean that if a person catches the virus, his/her appearance will change (if he/she survives)? Or that the victim's physical strength or intelligence will change?

Thanks for reading!

This will become clearer as the story progresses but no, the infection won’t really change a person’s appearance - aside from the dots - however a normal person who walks up to a ghost person will notice there’s something a little “off” and creepy about them (chapter 4 will explain this a bit more). This is why Chie & co. must work at Cypress because it’s the only job provider that’s willing to employ them in the first place

Your average ghost is physically tougher than the average human and recovers from injuries much faster. There’s variety between individuals though; Chie isn’t particularly strong but she’s proven to be really good at running

Disclaimer: I don’t actually know shit about virology so I hope no one will call me out on how unrealistic my make-believe virus is… but at least I can promise my characters won’t grow ten-foot spiky tentacles out of thin air like they do in Resident Evil
