Pandemic Fictional Scenarios



There are several fictional scenarios of what a pandemic would be like on the web. The latest is written by a PFP (PlanforPandemic.com) member named snicklefritz, and it makes for interesting reading. It's short, but envisions a unique way for the pandemic to arrive in this country.

For those who would enjoy a more detailed description of imagined life during a pandemic, CanadaSue over at Current Events, has written a fictional `journal', and it runs about the length of a novella. This journal has been around for quite sometime, but remains relevant nonetheless.

While these are, admittedly, fictionalized visions of a future pandemic, they both give us food for thought. While things are slow newswise, I thought you might enjoy these insightful diversions.
