Everything is dandy and calm in equestria, recent medical breakthroughs have wiped out almost every disease known to the pony kind. In fact, every disease as been eradicated..... Right?
Inspired by the mobile game Plague Inc
Teen rating due to some language and overall darkness of story
If your going to give me feedback, please do. But don't just skim the story and say "oh my god, this story sucks. Its not even good, stopped after the first sentence, pls remove as soon as possible." Any comment related to that will be removed.

Interesting concept of a retrovirus going rogue and causing the epidemic, a very real-world concern. A nice touch to make the epilogue at the beginning, as it can work for a story like this. Flesh out matters more (show, don't tell) and you might just have a well made story on your hands.
Thank you very much, its just a work in progress though, and i the bacteria thing isn't actually the disease that ins't going rogue. I have something more... sinister in mind
And as for the showing and not telling, im getting there. I learned from my last fic that its better to take it slow, then to rush into it and kill everyone. Or just kill someone
I feel like i rushed the ending, however i feel like i did a good job with the story over all. I hope you think the same, because now its up to you guys
That frozen virus at the end does actually exist, and while it doesn't target human and animal cells. It does target amoeba's.

Here's a link if you want to know more about the virus thing
This "helper" disease, sounds a little like ALZ-112 and ALZ-113. We're you watching "rise of the planet of the apes" when you typed this chapter?
Talking about chapter 3. But, had you seen the movie before you had gotten started?
Hey, nice ending! You acctualy suprized me by using the pithovirus! I finished reading this in about 5-10 minutes, so. Great story, loved it, loved all the red hearings, ( miss leadings) even loved the ending! All in all, "one for the records"! ( see what I did there?)
They were considering Ysernia pestis, if they really wanted to take a risk they could have put in Variola major instead of lyme disease.
