THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS COMMON TO ALL

“The Mystery Flu”                                                        part one

The day is over and you are driving home.

You tune in your radio.

You hear a little news blurb about a remote village in India where some villagers have died suddenly, strangely, of a type of flu that has never been seen before.

It is not your typical influenza, but several are dead and many more are desperately ill.

The symptoms are severe, and they are sending a team from the Center for Disease Control to conduct an investigation.

In the whirl of moment you do not think much of it, as your only concern is to return home to those who await you.

On the ride home from church on Sunday, you hear another story on the radio news that rivets your attention, only this time the death toll is not a few, but there are multiple thousands in a remote spot in India that are dying.

On a cable news service that you are viewing the story goes major with wall to wall coverage.

Governments the world over are pouring aid and investigators into the area to ease the suffering, but more importantly to identify the illness and to develop a strategy to contain the growing circle of exposure.

On Monday morning, it is the Headline Story in your area newspaper.

It is no longer contained in India, but has spread regionally to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and is beginning to appear in even more distant areas, and is becoming so discussed that the name of “the mystery flu” is coined and used by everyone.

The President has mentioned that he and everyone within his sphere of influence are praying and hoping that all will turn out all right “over there”.

But everyone we speak to is concerned, what is it, will it be contained, will it just mutate and go away, or will it attack me, and those who are mine?

Then we hear that the President of France has just made an announcement that rattles the continent of Europe.

He will close the borders of France with no air travel allowed from, or into any area where “the mystery flu” is suspected of having a foothold.

Later that day when you again visit the cable news feed you are appalled when an interview is ran and is being translated from French with English captions of a weeping woman who states “There is a man being treated in a hospital in Paris that is dying from “the mystery flu.”

It has now officially spread to Europe and panic in a personal and global reality begins to set in.

The symptoms stated as simply as possibly are beginning to be made known, first there is an incubation period of about a week, and then the early onset begins to resemble flu, with a fever and aches and pains, and then four days later you are desperately ill with a majority of your internal organs going through varying degrees of failure, and no one who exhibits any of the later symptoms will survive.

Borders of many nations all over the world are closed in an attempt to slow down the infection rate.

Finally the President makes his proclamation “Due to a national security risk, all flights to and from Europe and Asia have been cancelled. There will be no exceptions. No one moves into or out of the country until there is a resolution of this thing called “the mystery flu.”

Within a week the world has been thrust into an unbelievable fear.

In the market places, items are being sold that are promoted as a preventative or even a cure, and people are snapping them up at rates that will not allow the shelf inventory to be maintained.

“The mystery flu” is the only topic of discussion, at your workplace, at your health club, at your beauty shop, and in the media.

Television stations are interviewing ministers, both local and national, and there are lines being drawn between those who represent the church.

Some are stating that the problem is overblown, some that it will pass, some that it is just a testing, and some state that it is a judgment being poured out on humanity.

While others are stating that there are some who will escape the taint of death.

On Wednesday night across the nation, church doors are open, some that would normally be closed, as a matter of business decision.

It doesn’t matter now, times are desperate, and the houses are full.

Suddenly some one bursts in and shouts for someone to turn on a radio, as the news is out that now the horror, of “the mystery flu’ has arrived.

In a hospital on the east coast of the U.S.of A., several people have been hospitalized and are in the final life stages of “the mystery flu.”

Within hours the news media is reporting that nationwide people are exhibiting symptoms that can have only one cause, “the mystery flu.”

Doctors, Scientists, Immunologist, all are working around the clock to find an antidote, a vaccine, or a cure.

Just as suddenly as the appearance of the disease, the discovery is made, and yes, there is a cure for the dreaded disease.

It will take only one thing. The uninfected blood of the innocent and undefiled. Someone who even though exposed, has not become infected.

In every community, in every state in the nation, the call goes out , martial law is imposed, and it is required of all people no matter the age or life status, to report to centers that have been setup, for immediate blood testing.

It is urgent!

All of humanity will be doomed if the blood of the perfect one is not identified.
