Safetyland

It all happened in just a few days. There was the flu which took so many of the vulnerable and overwhelmed the medical system. It also showed the people that their confidence in their nations were misplaced as life became a war and the rich and privileged took advantage. There were so many storms with so many names. Fires, earthquakes, floods, riptides, hail, storm surge, cyclones, tornados, and hurricanes. One disaster after another with the fear and panic resulting in violence and madness. Some found solace in blaming he failure of the world man and many other turned to their God. Some people on earth determined to ignore the news, they called it fake news. The planet they said was just going through a phase. The had invoked a herd immunity concept knowing that millions would die from the virus and the survivors would be on the own in a strange new world. Scientists pointed to the proximity of the people of the world and what they called global warming. They coined the words climate change but whatever the cause and whatever the names nobody could seem to do anything about it, and it kept getting worse. Prediction were made that the planet had only a short time to be inhabitable and some believed the earth would burn out of existence. The pandemic took so much of human population, human contact, and travel. A single bug could be transmitted around the world in a few hours and many of the new bug were resistant to antibiotics. The human had been taking antibiotics overprescribed to them and added to their food supply. Despite numerous warnings there was just too much money in handing out antibiotics like candy to stop the flow and keep the population safe from the superbugs. The antibiotics were no longer working, superbugs began to appear and the future of humanity in its organic biological form looked grim.
