If a Superbug card is revealed by Forecast, or Rate Effect triggers when the purple cube is blocked, what happens?

Once Forecast is resolved and you draw the cards for Infections, a Superbug card works as normal: draw another card and apply it. Rate Effect triggers whenever a Superbug conversion to purple happens, even if a Quarantine blocks the cube, but not when the city already has purple.
