Staying infected after death?

[VossRG 0]

One of the guys in my group became infected. He checked hospitals ~30 times, and never once found any antibiotics.

In the end, he gave up and respawned on the coast. He took 1 hit from a zombie. He bandaged and thought he was fine - until he started coughing yet again.

A few hours later, he died and respawned. At one point he noticed he was wounded, but he didn't know how, as he didn't have any encounters with zeds or humans.

He then starting coughing again.

The chances of being infected 2 times in 24 hours, despite limited zombie contact must be extremely low. This is why we were wondering if it was possible for your avatar to remain infected after death.

And does anyone else think that the antibiotics spawn rate is stupidly low?

I have never even SEEN antibiotics and I've been playing for a week or two.

It does sound like a likely bug. Have you raised the issue in the Support forums?

I've seen antibiotics once. I was like 'lolwut, dont need this crap'

So what happens when you are infected anyway?

The infection makes you cough constantly and lowers your blood down to 6,000.

I currently have it, I can't even risk pulling out my pistol to deal with zombies because a single hit at this point could be fatal. The problem is antibiotics are an almost nonexistent spawn. This was not a big deal when it brought you down to 10,000 blood, but right now it's an uncurable death sentence.

I have a few antibiotics, although never had to use them, that's weird, eh.
