New Normal

Prologue: It all started with rumors of a new flu that was spreading across the eastern hemisphere. No one was sure about what was going on. For a couple weeks, it seemed like just another meme, but it felt different. Reports started coming in about how this new virus was significantly more contagious than influenza. Then it exploded onto the world. Everything stopped. Governments ordered the lockdowns. Everyone was required to stay in their homes. Commerce came to a halt. Streets were deserted. Fear was rampant.
