You remark to a stranger on your first trip out of the country in 5 years,

"To think that was the last time we would have eggs for an entire year. And then, bam, Measles outbreak! Oh and the Nazis. We just kind of thought that kind of thing could never happen here, you know?"

The economy crashes save for certain industries doing remarkably well (Ivermectin, RFK branded vitamins, Ivanka Trump brand coffins, Melania branded extra wide brimmed hats to keep the infected and undesirables at a great distance, etc).

Another couple weeks go by. Now the headlines are screaming. There are hundreds of human deaths all across North America. What once only infected birds, mutated to cows and humans. It's infinitely more contagious and deadly.

A couple weeks pass. The headlines are quiet at first. It sounds like rumblings of some unbelievable doomsday event that's not likely to come to pass any time in the near future.
