All Comments on 'Covid Apocalypse'

This story is nothing more than a combination of the movies, The Andromeda Strain, The Hot Zone and Contagion. Very disappointing 😕

Fantastic story! I would call it Hillary's Revenge.

Hilarious, but using the Dallas ‘it was all a dream’ trope was way beneath you. You naughty little saddletramp1956.

POC. Just when you had started submitting some decent readable stories you dump this bowl swirler on the world. I only gave it 1 star so it showed as a vote otherwise I'd have done a bhill and dropped a no score.

Great.... tongue firmly in cheek, yes?

.

Keep up the GOOD WORK!

LoL. If you were trying to create confusion in my mind, you did a wonderful job! Please make there a next chapter to help us cope.

4-stars.

"hydroxy chloroquine",

Why not just bleach and confirm your stupidity?

Wow!!!!! Outstanding and scary as it can be. A little to close to reality lately, what’s the old joke from the Cold War days place your head between your knees and prepare to kiss your ass goodbye.

Every so often, Saddletramp entertains us with a dystopian vision worthy of Orwell or Aldous Huxley. This is one such story. Sure, it's way OTT, but it's not completely 100 percent outside the realm of possibility. Well, except maybe for the nuclear option at the end.

It's pretty clear Steve is a caricature of Anthony Fauci, and it's pretty obvious who the president was modeled after.

And I can just see the government passing a chastity belt mandate like the one in this story. I liked the "Free the Pussy" movement -- I got a good laugh out of that.

Yeah, it's tongue-in-cheek, and out there, but I loved it. After all, it's only fiction. Thanks, ST! 5* again. And please, ignore the Perpetual Bitch Brigade.

This is down into MarlboroMan territory; unfortunately there's no way to award negative stars. Oh, and What hindsight2020 Said.

LOL, perfect absolutely perfect.

Use to look forward to seeing you post. But you have gone completely swirling the turd in the toilet.

As always, boss, you hit it. 7 stars from me. I didn't much like the outcome, but It was all logical. It's nice to be 72 years old. God bless our country, and lets hope our morality holds up. The Bear approves, but didn't like the outcome much. And using nukes on American soil? I doubt the military would go along with that.

The BEAR

Could this be part of the conspiracy

I’m guessing the response to this story falls along party lines which is surprising considering this is the one place I thought that kind of narrow minded crap wouldn’t be. Why is it that rape and abuse stories are easily accepted and yet fictional political stories get some people’s panties in a bunch? It doesn’t bode well for the human society.

Very timely submission with all the virus variants going around. Excellent treatment of the topic since its plausable that the worse a variant gets, the greater the government intervention would be. 5 out 0f 5 for me!

Very timely story. Thought it rang true in a nightmare scenario given that the stronger and more out of control a variant of the virus becomes, the greater the government response could be. Interesting that you used Hilary as your President. But that makes sense as Trump would have done nothing. Anyway, 5 out o 5 stars!

Let's just hope this fiction doesn't come to be. Is Madam President HRC? Good humerus story.

Giving it a more sinister name allows for fear mongering.

The 2019 mutation of the common flu had a 50 percent higher death rate amongst those that were already susceptible such as older people ( mostly elderly).

And those with respiratory issues.

Of course some did not fit those categories.

But the enactment of emergency powers throughout the western world has given unprecedented control to beaurocrates everywhere.

People do not relinquish power willingly.

The next steps for those in power???

Forced Vaccination.

Followed by a microchip so you can buy and sell in the new cashless economy.

This will leave a mark.

On hand if you are effectively forced into a.

And on your forehead for those who are willing or even lovers of the mark.

The biblical mark of the beast.

You cannot serve God and Mammon.

Cute. Liked the political angle.

LOL I really enjoyed this story. I laughed like hell at the ending.

Sorry. I couldn’t read any farther than the second page.

Chloroquine? Really? Really? You get one star for that. Yeah, I know it was sarcasm, but in this day and age too many people will take that as gospel. I’m praying that COVID mutates to only infect and kill those who believe in 5 second sound bites and have no critical thinking capability.

Looking for part two.

I hat authors and stories like this. You publish before the story is finish and either forget about the second part or it is hidden where we can`t find it. I was a good story so far.

Damn people are such haters even when they're presented with free Literature. Of course some wouldn't know a good fiction from an Instruction manual. Thanks Saddle Tramp, great story! Keep up the good works. Another 5 BIG ONES!

Recent history and this story coincide do they not? I like the story 4 stars worth but is the repugnant lady "H" a central character in this story? Her cure for the problem reminds me of Asian Bird Flu and Hoof and Mouth disease cures, a tad far-fetched example maybe but hang on .......

"And it was all a dream"

Laziest way to ever end a story
