@spacecadet2811 You have a few options. 1) Say that this is a FALSE story, and that it has nothing to do with the Coronavirus, which isn't bio-engineering. 2) Keep writing it, editing it to make it perfect. Once this whole thing blows over, publish it (but I have a feeling Corona will last till the end of the year, so that's unpredictable).
I think it really depends on how Corona goes, and who your readers are. Do these things unsettle them? I'd be interested in reading it, actually. Outbreaks have happened before: SARS, MERS, Ebola etc.
Also thank you so much for the follow! How did you find my account, by the way?
