Oh... damn. That's definitely some sci-fi shit.

[Beyond, like, the sci-fi shit they're already living in.]

I can't say how ours originated... besides people started getting sick in Philadelphia, got worse, and spread from there. It's technically only been two weeks, and most of the east coast is infected.

I remember there being a lot of conspiracy theories about stuff like that. Bio-weapons and shit. Most of it was literal writing on the wall, though.
