apocalyspe catastrophe confinement coronavirus covid-19

At school I was told to write a personal narrative based on the situation with the Coronavirus. I took upon this opportunity to write out my anger for the way politicians are taking advantage of the situation by expressing how they have brought upon this solitude that is taking a small toll on our lives. So in this short story, see one of the worst case scenarios that people could bring with this ungodly turmoil. Perhaps this story is irrational, but I am imaginative for the hope that we can be prepared for catastrophe.

Mankind faces the worst pandemic in modern history. Raymond Roberts is an Englishman teaching English in Wuhan, Hubei, China. It's an underwhelming, mediocre Chinese city of twelve million people, with no notable distinctions to make anyone notice its existence, unless you happen to live there. Until that is, it becomes the epicenter of a viral pandemic outbreak that sweeps the globe. The city is on quarantined lockdown - the largest in human history. Raymond ignored the calls from the British Government when they offered him a chance to leave with other British Nationals. Like everyone else, he presumed the People's Republic of China is overreacting. Quarantined in his tiny one-room apartment, Raymond becomes restless and starts spending his time trying to work out what's going on, through China's restricted social media and the Internet. In doing so he draws unwanted, dangerous attention. A rat who gnaws at a cat's tail invites destruction. - Ancient Chinese Proverb
