Another setback in the virtual world scenario is online time. A plague IRL is there with you 24/7. It is there when you go to sleep, it is there when you get up. In a virtual world, you're not confronted with the disease when you log off. End of disease, no more issues, just get on with things. You can even stay offline (well, okay, it was WoW so this is unlikely) until the thing has raged itself out. So the model would be totally unreliable on that faction as well.
