Chapter Two: Transmission
Day Seven
Infected: 18,364
Dead: 9,170
As the morning’s light began to creep over Spike’s bed, he slowly began to stir. The young dragon yawned slightly before stretching out his legs. As he did this, he accidentally brushed against the mare lying next to him. Almost immediately, she was catapulted into consciousness, causing her to, groggily, turn to face him.
Spike smiled slightly before laying a hand upon her snow white cheek. “You are such a light sleeper.”
Sweetie Belle smiled somewhat. “Yeah, but I’m not technically awake until I’ve had a few cups of coffee.”
The young dragon returned the smile before pressing his lips to hers. After a moment, Sweetie Belle broke the kiss with a slight giggle.
“Wow, looks like someone’s in a good mood today,” she said, a slight blush beginning to form.
Spike began to blush as well. “Well, I woke up next to you. Why wouldn’t I be happy?”
At those words, Sweetie Belle could no longer contain her laughter. “Nice try,” she giggled before quickly kissing him on the nose.
The purple dragon rolled his eyes. “Hey, can you blame me for trying?”
Still giggling, Sweetie Belle levitated her comb over to her and slid out from under the sheets. “Well, if you’re gonna try, try harder.”
Spike made a very amused expression before replying “Oh I’ve got the harder part down pat.”
The white unicorn, still combing her mane, took a moment to process what he had just said before she turned to Spike. “Oh you sick basterd.”
Immediately, spike burst into laughter upon seeing the half disgusted and half amused expression on her face.
Rolling her eyes, Sweetie Belle with back to combing her mane. “So, what are your plans for the day?”
“You mean besides the first one?”
Sweetie Belle shot Spike a quick glare, causing Spike to smile.
“Well, I was going to help Sunflower in the bookstore, but she said she wasn’t feeling well… Plus she has the keys. So I’m all yours today.”
The unicorn smiled. “Yeah, wish I could say the same, but I’ve-“Suddenly Sweetie Belle was cut off by the ringing of the phone. ‘Who the hay would be calling now?’ she thought.
Encasing it in a magical glow, Sweetie Belle lifted the phone to her ear. “Hello?”
“Hello.” replied an unfamiliar female voice. “Is this a Mrs. Sweetie Belle?”
“Uh, yes,” she answered in an unsure tone.
“Mrs. Sweetie Belle, I’m a doctor at Canterlot General Hospital and I’m very sorry to inform you that your brother in law, Fancy Pants, has passed away.”
Shocked, the young unicorn took a seat on her bed.
Spike, who was becoming increasingly worried asked “What is it?” Instantly, Sweetie Belle waved a dismissive hoof, silencing him.
“W-Well, what happened to him?”
“It appears that he had contracted a strain of influenza only found in Saddle Arabia. Also, your sister, Rarity, appears to be infected as well.”
Sweetie Belle raised a hoof over her mouth. “Is she okay?!” she exclaimed.
“Oh yes, her condition is stable and she is recovering rather well. It seems that she had a more mild reaction. However, she stated that we shouldn’t contact you until she deemed her condition well enough.”
“Wait, how long ago did this happen?”
“A little more than three days ago.”
“But can I go see her?”
“Oh of course, however you should know that she is in isolation and you will be asked to put on protective clothing.”
“Okay, thank you for telling me.”
Slowly, Sweetie Belle levitated the phone back onto the nightstand. However, Spike could see a slight trembling in her magical grip. Gently, he laid a hand onto her shoulder. In turn, she turned towards him.
“Sweetie, what is it?”
Sweetie Bell took a second to reply, still trying to process what she had just been told. “We have to go to Canterlot.”
----------
Sweetie Belle and Spike stood in horror as they watched nurses and doctors in white suits and respirator hoods encircle Rarity’s bed. It was so astounding that the two could barely hear anything the nurse was telling them.
“Mrs. Sweetie Belle? Mrs. Sweetie Belle?”
Snapping back into reality, she and Spike turned toward the pony next to them. She was wearing a white suit similar to the others, except she didn’t have a hooded respirator; instead she had a dust mask with the label “N95” inscribed on it.
“Uh, sorry,” replied Sweetie Belle.
“As I was saying, the hazmat team has a suit ready for you.”
The young unicorn nodded and her and Spike began to go over to a pony in one of the more protective suits. However, Spike was quickly stopped by the nurse.
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have any suits for dragons. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait out hear.”
Spike understood, but was still somewhat annoyed. It was then when Sweetie Belle turned to him. “I’ll be right back.”
Spike nodded before Sweetie Belle turned and began trotting down the hall. After a moment of walking, she came to a wall of glass with an automatic door at its center.
“Here you go,” said a colt with a muffled voice.
She turned to him and saw a pony in one of the higher grade hazmat suits holding out a similar suit. She took it and began sliding it on. Immediately, she didn’t like the sensation of wearing it. Adorning that suit felt as though someone had wrapped her entire body in one of those bibs you get at the dentist’s office.
“And you’re going to need this too.”
She looked to the stallion to see him now holding out one of the hooded respirators. She took it and slid it over her head. At about that time, she noticed the colt putting something around her waist.
“Uh, what exactly are you doing?”
“Oh,” he said holding up a black belt with a small box at its center. “Sorry, I forgot you’re not a regular. This is the part of the PAPR, that you’re currently wearing, that filters the air and blows it into the hood.”
Sweetie Belle raised an eyebrow as the colt strapped it around her waist. “PAPR?”
“Powered Air Purifying Respirator.”
“Oh.” Abruptly, there was a clicking noise.
“There you go.”
After the colt double checked a few things on the suit, the two entered the sealed room. Finally Sweetie Belle was allowed to see her sister.
Rarity smiled weakly the moment she saw Sweetie Belle enter the room. She of course returned the smile, but hers was somewhat faked, for now she could get a better look at the IVs running into her arm, as well as the several monitors and sensors hooked to her, all of which horrified her.
“Hey sis,” said Sweetie Belle as she laid her hoof onto Rarity’s.
“Hey Sweetie Belle,” she replied weakly.
“How you feeling?”
Rarity laughed. “Like shit, but they say I’m getting better. So don’t worry.”
Sweetie Belle laughed a little too, however her expression quickly took on a somber tone. “I heard about Fancy Pants. I’m so sorry.”
The oldest unicorn looked down briefly. “Thanks, sis. Now, I don’t want to sound mean or anything, but I really don’t want you to see me like this.”
Sweetie Belled nodded. “Of course,” she said before turning away. But before she left, she turned back to Rarity. “I love you, sis.”
“I love you too.”
----------
After arriving back in Manehatten, Sweetie belle decided to turn on the news to see if there was any new information on this flu. Not being one to really pay attention to news, Sweetie Belle hadn’t seen anything on television until today. But after her morning, she was hanging on to every word the news colt said.
“It is believed that this flu virus began somewhere in southern Saddle Arabia, where most of the infections and deaths are being reported. However, there have been reported cases in Canterlot, Manehatten, and Cloudsdale. As of yet there are no reported cases in the Crystal Empire. Stay tuned for more information on this developing story.”
Spike stood in the doorway to their living room for a moment, waiting to see if Sweetie Belle would even notice him. When she didn’t, he went over to her and took a seat next to her. As he laid a hand onto her shoulder, he asked “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” she replied, without taking her eyes off of the screen.
Spike could instantly tell that Sweetie Bell was lying. So he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into an embrace. It seemed as though that were the only way to get her eyes off of the television.
“Rarity’s going to be fine,” he assured her.
Sweetie Belle wrapped her hooves around Spike and closed her eyes. “I know, I’m just… I don’t know.”
Spike reached out a claw to the nearby remote and turned off the television. “Just don’t worry about it right now. Okay?”
The young unicorn looked down. “Okay.”
Noticing this, Spike gently lifted her head for what he was to say next. “Sweetie Belle, I love you.”
Sweetie Belle smiled. “I love you too.”
Slowly, the couple began to break the embrace, but Spike still kept one arm around her. Then all of a sudden, the phone began to ring. The young dragon quickly took it and lifted it to his ear.
“Hello?”
“Spike, it’s me.”
Upon recognizing that voice, Spike’s eyes lit up. “Twilight? Is that you?”
“Yeah, it’s me. I’m sorry I haven’t called more often.”
“It’s okay. I understand, the princess business is a full time job and all.”
“Yeah… Spike, I heard about Fancy Pants. I’m really sorry.”
“Thanks, Twi.”
“But there’s something else I needed to talk to you about.”
Spike raised his brow. “What is it?”
“It’s just, you and me both know this flu is serious, but I tried to talk some sense into AJ, but she just keeps blowing me off. Celestia is implementing pandemic protocols and even making the royal guard wear protective masks. She’s not screwing around with this. I’m just worried about Applejack and Applebloom getting sick. So, do you think you could try to talk some sense into her?”
Spike was a little surprised by Twilight’s comment about Celestia’s actions, but simply replied “Of course, Twilight.”
“Thank you so much, Spike. Now I’ve got to go. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Okay, bye.”
“Bye.”
Spike then hung up the phone and turned to Sweetie Belle.
“What was that about?” she asked, a slightly confused look upon her face.
Spike sighed. “I know now isn’t a good time, but I think we should go to Ponyville.”
Sweetie Belle tilted her head. “What? Why?”
“We need to go see Applejack and Applebloom.”
Upon hearing her friend’s name, Sweetie Belle instantly perked up. “Why? Are they sick?”
“No, but from how bad Twilight says this thing is that won’t last long.”
“Then we’ll go first thing tomorrow.”
----------
Day Eight
Infected: 64,362
Dead: 34,975
As the couple stepped off of the train to Ponyville, they felt a cool breeze brush against their faces. Soon, that same gentle breeze would harbor the key of untold devastation. Of course, at this point, no one knew just how bad things would really get.
“It feels good to be home again,” said Spike as he looked up and down the streets.
Sweetie Belle smiled. “Yeah, this place hasn’t really changed much, has it?”
“No not really. But hey, we’ve got to go see Applejack.”
“Right, let’s go.”
After a short time of walking, and the occasional flash back, Spike and Sweetie Belle reached Sweet Apple Acres. The farm almost looked just as it did when they were just teenagers. Even the old tire swing they had hung just before graduation didn’t seem to have aged a day.
However, when they reached the front porch, the sign that used to say “Sweet Apple Acres, Residence of Big Macintosh, Applebloom, Granny Smith and Applejack,” now only listed Big Macintosh and Applejack. They had immediately assumed what had happened to Granny Smith, but were clueless as to where Applebloom was.
Leisurely, Spike raised his hand and knocked on the door. He couldn’t be sure what Applejacks reaction might be since she hadn’t seen him is so long, but he assured himself that she would welcome them. After all it was Applejack. And sure enough, the moment the door opened, the orange mare grinned wildly and pulled the two into a tight embrace.
“Oh my goodness! Spike! Sweetie Belle! Where’ve y’all been? I haven’t seen you two since forever ago!” squealed the overjoyed cowpony.
“Hey AJ,” said Spike, returning the hug.
“I’ve missed you too,” added Sweetie Belle.
After a second more, Applejack broke the embrace and said “Come on inside now; wouldn’t want you to catch a cold.”
Upon hearing this, Spike and Sweetie Belle shot each other glances full of mixed emotions.
“So how’ve you two been since the wedding?”
Sweetie Belle smiled. “Oh we’re doing all right. Spike’s working at a bookstore and I have my singing.”
“Yeah, things in Manehatten are pretty nice,” said Spike as he took a seat on a nearby couch. However, a moment later, his face took on a more serious tone. “But AJ, there’s something we need to talk about.”
The cowpony looked to Spike, tilting her head marginally. “What is it? You two alright?”
“Oh no we’re fine, it’s just, Twilight’s worried about you. And so are we.”
Instantly Applejack’s expression turned to one of understanding. “Listen Spike, I'm really sorry about Fancy Pants, but I just don’t think this flu stuff will get me. I mean I’m in the prime of my life and my immune system is just fine.”
“Then you’re guaranteed to die,” interrupted Sweetie Belle, causing all eyes to fall upon her. Even Spike was a little surprised by her comment.
“Uh, what makes you say that sugar cube?” asked a shocked Applejack.
“AJ, this isn’t like the normal flu. It kills ponies who are healthy like you. What is does is simply turn your body against itself. The stronger you are the more likely your lungs are to split open. To be quite frank, your lungs just rip themselves apart until there’s so much blood and mucus in them that you drowned in your own bodily fluids. However, the weak aren’t able to rip their lungs apart, so they live. It’s pretty much reverse feather flu.”
Spike and Applejack just stared at Sweetie Belle, who was now sitting next to Spike. Both were unable to believe what she had just said. It’s not that the two of them saw her as stupid, they just didn’t see her as the type to know so much about this topic.
“Um Sweetie Belle,” began Spike, “How do you know all of this?”
“I saw it on the news. They were showing the hospitals in Canterlot filling up with the sick.” Sweetie Bell then seemed to turn a little green. “It was horrible.”
Spike laid a comforting hand onto her shoulder before looking back to Apple Jack. “Now will you listen to us?”
The orange mare nodded. “Of course.”
“Now, where is Applebloom,” asked Spike. “I thought surly she’d be around.”
“Oh no, she’s done moved to Fillydelphia. Said she needed to get a good job.”
The young dragon placed his claw onto his chin, considering his next words. “Well, when it hits there, you need to get her home. Some of the things Twi was telling me was downright freaky.”
Applejack smiled. “And what you were telling me wasn’t? Don’t you worry, I’ll see to it that she gets home.”
Spike returned the smile. “Thanks Applejack.” He then looked over to a nearby window and saw that the sun’s light was beginning to dim. “Well, we better catch the night train. It was nice seeing you Applejack.”
The orange pony raised her brow. “What? I ain’t making you leave at night. You can stay. Besides, I’ve done made a good supper.”
“Oh no it’s okay Applejack. We don’t-“
“Boy don’t make me hog tie your ass again. It ain’t right to send your guests out at night,” interrupted Applejack.
Instantly the two heard Sweetie Belle giggling beside them. Spike looked to her with an unamused expression. “What? I didn’t say anything,” she giggled.

Dude! Awesome chapter! Can I have more info? I am amazed that you can make a serious point using MLP characters
Phew.That's one thing I don't have to worry about getting killed by, now that I know that not being really healthy is a secondary power, also... RARITY, said, "shit". Now, I'm not one to say swearing is evil or immoral but, it's kinda OOC to have her swear so breezily honestly. It's... unladylike I guess you could say.
2656015 She has a 106 fever, is in the ICU, and her husband just died. I don't think she cares much about being ladylike.
2656252 This a powerful and emotional story
you have here. Poor Rarity.
When I was in the first grade, I caught a fever.
In the ninth grade , I caught a minor case pneumonia. I felt like shit.
Let me tell you something, pneumonia is STILL pneumonia.
Did this fic get inspiration from the ongoing MERS outbreak? Because MERS is said to have started in Saudi Arabia.
I like the way this story is going and I like that you are using all the correct terminology and being realistic about what would happen. Look at Spanish Flu in 1918 or the H1N1 outbreak a few years back. 1918 killed more people then World War 1 and H1N1 spread like crazy and could still come back, since that is what happened with Spanish Flu. It was strong for about half a year, disappeared for a year or so, and then came back far stronger then it had been originally.
Keep up the great work and I can't wait for more!
I also wanted to add after shit hit the fan there be kids with out moms and dads, making them becoming feral. I use the word feral becasue is the best way to put it, they will be the most dangerous kind of people you will met.
Why you may ask, Becasue there suck mind is now suck on one thing Do or Die. They will kill you if there huger, they are running off emoic 100% of the time, with teens you can talk them out of kill you like 50% of them, and adult all gown up they can think with out there emoic coming into paly, but kids hole shit if they see you have food and there huger and know they world is chage forever in there minds they will shoot you they will kill you with out giving any thoge into it.
I would like to see more on the human nature (or in this case, pony nature) regarding the disease. You might remember the WoW pandemic case (or if you dont, google it) in which people caught a quick-killing debuff caused by a boss raid. This debuff could kill a high-level player within seconds, but some people managed to travel to high-populated cities and purposely spread the disease to other players, low-level and high-level players. For a whole day the game was unplayable, Then devs managed to aisle the disease, but then people began experimenting and found another way to spread it.
Quote from wikipedia:
During the epidemic, normal gameplay was disrupted. Player responses varied but resembled real-world behaviors. Some characters with healing abilities volunteered their services, some lower-level characters who could not help would direct people away from infected areas, some characters would flee to uninfected areas, and some characters attempted to spread the disease to others.
See this news story? its making me be cautious.
Also so is The Manehattan Virus and Crimson Cough
2657724 You TRUST WIKIPEDIA!!!!!!!!????????
2658155
Let the comment you just made sink for a second.
2658444. Anyone can change Wikipedia, therefore it cannot be trusted unless you are desperate enough to put out (possible) lies. I learned that in fourth grade.
2658479
1) I KNOW the whole wow pandemic thing happened. Therefore i don't care if the info is right or wrong in this case. Besides it wasn't anything "important".
2) It would be HIGHLY stupid to trust just 1 source of information. You must always cross-reference it.
3) Wikipedia has a anti-vandalism system within it. Most people wouldn't spend their time making possible lies just to fuck it up.
4) Wikipedia has 30,284,917 articles within its site. Just because someone "could" tamper with the data it doesn't mean Wikipedia cant be wholly trusted.
2658625. Good point.
2645970 I have to ask will a Earloop Procedure Face Masks do a-ok, Or do i have to get a N95 Respirator???
2664339 That's a very good question and one many mistake. Ear loop masks offer no protection what so ever. Nor do common dust masks. What you need is a N95 or higher. This includes N99, N100, P99, and P100. Personally I would go with the P100 masks. They are pretty much a hepa filter. They offer 99.97% protection as where N95 only offer 75-95% protection. However, disposable masks are one use only. Mostly because each time you breath more and more viruses get stuck to it. This is why I have reusable half masks. You can find them online or at Home Depot for 10-20$ each with a box 4 pairs of filters costing 15$, but make sure you get the filter with P100 on it. They will either be a standard cartridge or a pink pancake filter. I'd go with the cartridge filter, but they're more pricey and harder to find then the pancake filter. And you need one for EVERYONE in your household. If one of you gets sick it's a safe bet most if not all of you will too. So don't skip out. You'd be killing more than just yourself.
Now back to masks, if you really want protection I'd get an Israeli gas mask. They're usually 20$ on eBay. I say this because if someone coughs in your face it'll prevent any virus harboring droplets from hitting your skin. But don't get a Russian gas mask. The cheaper older ones are usually a pain to wear and ineffective. Israeli is your best bet.
However, masks will do no good if you don't take the proper steps to decontaminate. For after being exposed your cloths will catch millions of viruses. As will your shoes. It is important that you take both off immediately and wash them, boil if possible. However, you could use a Tyvek suit to protect your cloths, but this may be excessive. But when were talking about something with a mortality rate 20% less than Ebola, nothing is excessive.
Now your shoes will need to be cleaned the most. You will inevitably step on a contaminated surface and spread the virus. So wear shoe covers or rain boots. Boots are easier because all you'd need to do is step in a bucket of bleach before entering. These are the same protocols for the Ebola wards in Africa.
Also hand sanatizer doesn't kill viruses. Only bacteria. However, it does make it hard for them to hold on to your hands, but not kill. This is another important misconception. Your best defense is washing your hands with an anti microbial soap.
Also, latex gloves are a good idea. They're usually only 15$ for 100 pack at Home Depot. They're much more effective than any hand sanatizer. Just make sure you get the powder free ones. All that powder is just an annoying pain.
Now I know this is a bit much, but waring a mask alone simply won't be enough if you're still exposed to the other dangers.
Wow, this story is so cool! I can't wait for more!
2665341 TY
Btw i was about to buy this dull face mask in the next 2 mothes you think it will do the job?
http://www.amazon.com/MSA-Safety-Works-10041139-Respirator/dp/B000P9CX1A/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2RH3QIQEF7NM4&coliid=I1ZASOES45ZU6J
2666756 Most defiantly, but you'd need one for every person in your house hold. Just make sure you get the right size also if you're looking into that much of a budget, I'd just get an industrial gas mask from Ebay. They're much more effective and maybe a little cheaper.
Just follow guidelines. http://approvedgasmasks.com/defective-masks.htm
2667617 TY. Btw i have to ask what i have to do if one of my maily gets it! my dad is a turck diver you know diveing in the usa with an 18 weeler to get the goods there on time. He is most likely to get it, i love with my family becasue i have no job and only get 100$ per mothe.
I also like to ask this, how long until the vuris burns out, like 4 to 6 mothes? you know so is safe to go outside and loot for any food ammo and what not, Also sould i buy painkillers or what?
2667839 Well, depending upon the virus those infected would face a chance of dieing. For NCoV 50-60% of those infected die, but that number may drop. For H7N9 that number is roughly 30%. Then for H5N1 it's 60%.
However, if he were infected you wouldn't know about it until two days after he were contagious. So in those two days before the first cough, it may already be too late, so treat everyone as though they were infected.
Now what I would do to isolate him first is have him change cloths outside, in a garage or barn. Burn or boil his old cloths and make sure to do the same with his shoes. Next give him a NON VENTED N95 respirator so he isn't spewing virus through the vent. Now take him inside and have him shower. You can either seal of the bathroom with his room or disinfect it incredibly thoroughly. Make sure he washes his entire body with soap. Next you'd seal off a selected room with plastic sheeting. It should have two layers so when you visit him you can leave your contaminated cloths before exiting (preferably a Tyvek or Tychem suit). DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE AIR VENTS. Close them and tape them. Let no air leave that room.
All you can do from that point on is give him fever reducers, pain killers, lots of vitamin D3, and, if you're lucky enough to have any, Tamiflu. However, we are seeing more and more Tamiflu resistant strains of influenza so it may not be effective. Also if it isn't administered before the second day he is symptomatic it's useless.
Now if someone were to die in your house I would recommend you bury them in a 3 food or deeper grave. Make sure to wrap them in plastic and use protective cloths and gloves while handling them. Make sure the plastic has been taped well to prevent contamination. Once buried remember to mark the grave.
I'm telling you to bury them yourself because the second option is to simply have someone come to your door, wrap them in plastic, and put them in a dump truck where they will be buried in an unmarked mass grave, almost a body landfill. It's much more respective to do it yourself.
And the virus will peak in 90 days and will be almost gone in 180. However, there may still be small pockets of infection depending on the strain. Also, if you have a Tychem suit and proper hazmat gear you can begin looting from empty houses right away. Just make sure you decontaminate properly with powerful soap and water. But if you can still get wet, you did something wrong.
And don't forget to decontaminate what you loot and only take what is in a sealed bag and unopened cans. If it's exposed to air, it's exposed to viruses. Personally, I'd just dunk them in a tub of bleach.
2668645 thx for telling me this, btw if they stop picking up bodys off the street and theres loot on them, what and how to loot them with out getting the vuris?
2668963 By the point they stop body removal, it'll be anarchy. That will be one of the last services to stop. Now, contrary to popular belief, you can't catch influenza from a dead body. However, you can still catch it from contaminated surfaces such as their cloths or belongings. Also they will have other diseases you'd expect to catch from any decomposing corpse. So the best way to go about looting is by putting on an N95 respirator and elbow length latex gloves. However you may just want a gas mask simply because of the smell. Just make sure your skin doesn't come into direct contact with the cloths or skin of the corpse. Once you've taken what you want boil or bleach it. If it's not water proof don't take it. And money is useless. The economy will likely collapse during the pandemic's first few month, so instead be on the look out for rings, watches, and necklaces made of precious metals.
2665841 Thanks!
2670718 Ok thx, i know money will be useless by than, but it can make good tolit paper to waep you ass after taking a shit, hey am not giving up that confred
2658148 Yes, MERS/NCoV is one of the viruses that inspired me to write this story. However, despite MERS' capability to spread, I don't believe it is as big of a threat as H7N9 or H5N1. Either of these influenza viruses could mutate over night and leave a billion or more dead. Though many think the H7N9 outbreak is over due to warmer temperatures, I fear it may return in the fall. That's when we need to worry about a pandemic.
2656687 No, that was just coincidence. It's more based on the H7N9 outbreak.
2671128. Fu, I'm already terrified of what may come.
Is there a word meaning "Fear of Pandemics"?
2670718 i just forgot but remmber, is it a bad idea to burn random bodys you find if they have no vule are something on them of where they live are who there family are.
i don't like to burn bodys i like to burry them more repceful, but i can't stop every 15 mines i see a body out in my town or city i live in
2672576 No, but it'd be pointless. You should be more worried about survival than helping those already dead. Besides, towards the end, burning bodies would be a common sight.
2675264 that's the thing oech people have lost there way, gusse what the become like the riders in fallout not careing for anything but survival alone.
Theres a resano why we have porn vocle video games and more, to keep thos down so we do go out rapeing and so on, with that gone all there inside evil will be why to happy to come inside of them.
If you look at a dead rising video game you see psychopaths, and kids that lost there mom and dad of boy you batter hope they have not gone feral.
i also like to ask this are you going to just put what the flu do in this story or all the x-factor?

I actually came up with an equipment list for biological/chemical/radiological attacks in my spare time. Its good for pretty much everything except for large amounts of radiation. Any holes can be patched up with chem-tape, unclean areas sprayed with cleaner, and slash-resistant gloves add safety for people who always end up cutting their fingers. This is a pretty good deal compared to getting full SCBA equipment, which is EXPENSIVE

Dude, WTF.
I can't believe how naïve we all were, thinking that people could be reasoned with facts and logic. Thinking that fear would make people listen to authority. Thinking that humanity would be on its last whims and that pain and suffering and death would convince people to follow the rules. How foolish we all were we had no idea how many anti-maskers, Toilet Paper stealers, anti-vax, corrupt organizations, lies, beatings, racists, government deniers, and even the rioters. Cry*
