註釋COULD OUR MODERN WORLD SURVIVIE A CONTINENTAL PANDEMIC? Imagine our society threatened by a deadly virulence accidentally created when a government agency attempts to respond its own political agenda - a totally new pathogen so lethal and genetically different that medical researchers are unable to understand how or why it causes most people to die within a few days of contracting it. Imagine too that this new indecipherably altered genetic sequence can randomly change itself by merging with more common types of parasitic DNA to form combinations far more deadly than the parent organisms. Now imagine if you can, after only the briefest of intervals, how daily life would falter in the first infected cities, and then the great dying portions of whole countries now quarantined and forcefully kept isolated from the rest of our terrified world. Consider the fate of those few souls still alive within this cordoned off portion of the globe, for they are now completely on their own and the ones who must face first hand this encroaching menace. They are the ones who must live through each successive day to somehow survive in a totally changed society, in a totally new way of life, in La Vida Nueva.
