The two of us had decided to go on a news blackout after we came back from our last grocery shopping adventure. I couldn't take the negativity, and the reports seemed odd. In my heart I knew I couldn’t believe what I was seeing on the news anymore. It all depended on who they were taking a payment from. Most of the news reports were under the employ of the government. Most of the “fake news outlets” were exposed for being sponsored by big Pharma, and political groups that were outside of our country, mostly China. After the first pandemic, most of the big media companies were dissolved by the government, but it led to the government taking control of them and using them as voices for whatever tyrant was in charge.

There were only a few holdouts that weren’t public broadcasts, mostly on the internet and they were slowly dying. The phone companies were blocking access and not allowing them to get their apps in their app stores. When we got inside though, I decided it was time to check in on the world. I turned on the television in the kitchen and changed it to the only remaining independent national news channel available. It looked like it had been filmed by high school journalists.

Laying the watermelon on a cutting board, I grabbed my biggest knife and began cutting into the juicy fruit. When I glanced at the television, I stopped what I was doing.

“There are now nearly twenty million infected in the United States with the new pollen caused infection. The death rate reaching nearly eighty percent of the infected. Clusters have now popped up in Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, California, Nevada, and Colorado. There has been no correlation between location and super-spreaders. Doctor Rav Maldi of the Seattle Institute of Virology and Fredericka Miller of the Arelia Group are here to discuss the impact of this, allergy, is that what you are calling this?”

“You are right, Melinda. It’s an allergy caused by a pollen, and we are looking in the wrong direction. The CDC is misguided, it is a pollen not a virus, and we should be looking at wind patterns. The pollen is being carried on the wind, and if my data is correct, the pollen spread is originating somewhere near the Gulf of Mexico…”

“Get your computer,” I shot over my shoulder at Zeke. He ran into the garage and Aralia got his laptop, pulling up the map with the pollen hot spots when he returned. He moved to the side and let me look over his shoulder.

“Ten million, holy shit, we were only at a million a few days ago.” He typed something into his computer.

“She’s ramped up efforts,” I whispered.

“It’s being carried by the wind. Is she able to do that?”

“The storms, those are hers, right? So, she can it. It has to be her. Those two hurricanes that formed in the Gulf and off the coast of Georgia, they never made landfall, they were there to move the pollen.
