Just looking for a guess. I only casually participate in yearly events, so I'm not sure how long they usually last.
it is not certain. I was thinking that since Skitters accepted stage 3 of the infection, that the event would be over soon and it'd be only a week. But I have progressed to stage 4 so if it goes to 6 or 7 stages, and allowing for folks to take awhile to decide to drink the vial, it may last as long as two weeks altogether.
