The media's been trying to get face masks back into fashion for years now, subtly at first but now the government has come out and made them mandatory. It's not that you have to wear them when you're going outside, you have to wear them everywhere that isn't a tier 3 safe zone - I have to wear one in my own damned house in my own damned shower!
There used to be plenty of outrage at the new law and the penalty fines were too steep even for society's richest. Now we're all outraged that they never told us why in the first place-we'd all have listened and obeyed right away if they'd only told us why and countless lives wouldn't have been lost.
It's in the dust, you see. Some kind of parasite that was unearthed from a core sample taken from the North Pole itself. We don't even have a name for it yet - its already killed the original scientists and nobody's been allowed anywhere near their lab since in case there's something worse still trapped in the remains of the frozen sample.
Common consensus is that it's some kind of plant-insect hybrid, I mean I've seen the photos floating about the internet and the way those bodies were just splintered open does make it seem like something was incubating inside them and burst free.
Of course the government is still denying this, still denying that it does anything more than cause the body to produce intestinal gas so rapidly that the body violently ruptures which could be plausible if it weren't for the videos that everyone's seen and nobody wants to talk about.
The ones where the infected pull up their sleeves to expose the writhing beneath the skin of their arms.
