It looks good to me, but there's just one thingI live in the UK and actually have barely any knowledge on the climate/geography of the united states or what buildings might be there. Fill me in anyone?

I'm from the US.

Louisiana is southern and near the Gulf of Mexico. It's hot there if its the summer, like 90 degrees+ most days. Also it might be a valuable piece of information that New Orleans is host to the country's biggest party every year, Mardi Gras. It's pretty much where everyone gets drunk in the streets and throws confetti everywhere and stuff like that. maybe we could say that the outbreak happened during Mardi Gras so that there's like remnants of a giant party everywhere?
