The virus is nothing like in the movies. You know, the ones where the whole world withers and dies in a matter of days or weeks from the first sign of an infection. It probably would be better that way: painful, but quick.
***
At times it's easy to envy those that died when it all started, because at least for them it's over. For everyone else, it has only just begun; it's the beginning of the end.
"This is the way the world ends...
Not with a bang, but a whimper.”
