It’s Not a Pandemic, It’s a Standemic

Like a chilling scene straight out of a horror movie, communities worldwide have fallen victim to a devastating virus that has transformed ordinary individuals into peculiar beings: dancing, singing zombies. The influence of the virus has taken an iron grip on the population, altering their behavior and mannerisms to resemble the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

This infectious plague has inflicted widespread panic and disorder upon humanity. Those afflicted with the Michael Jackson glorification disease now traverse the streets with sluggish movements and robotic-like voices, all while casting judgment upon the remaining survivors. This unprecedented situation has been dubbed a "Standemic," a term reflecting the notable shift from a pandemic to a phenomenon centered around the idolization of Michael Jackson.

Initially, the infection appeared to affect only a handful of individuals. However, its alarming escalation propelled it into a global phenomenon. It is as if the virus has rewired the minds of these eccentrics, rendering them unable to grasp the concept that occupying unclaimed beds is entirely inappropriate for mature adults.

In the wake of this viral outbreak, the world has been turned upside down, casting doubt upon the future of humanity. Will the infected populace ever revert to their former selves? Is there a possibility of discovering a cure or developing strategies to counteract this Standemic? Alternatively, are we destined to coexist indefinitely with these Michael Jackson-obsessed zombies?

Certain experts propose containment through the establishment of specialized psychiatric facilities for the infected. However, this solution presents significant challenges, as numerous minds have already succumbed to the virus, surpassing the capacity of available hospital beds.

The journey to restore normalcy and find a remedy begins amidst this unparalleled crisis. Society must face this Standemic head-on, rallying its forces to protect and preserve the essence of humanity.
