Back in the days when I was a middle school reading teacher, I ran across a book called "Life As We Knew it," by Susan Pfeffer. Without spoiling it for anyone who hasn't read it, the premise of the book is that the moon is hit by an asteroid, which alters its orbit around the earth in such a way that it creates radical climate change, e.g., volcanic eruptions due to the moon's more powerful gravitational pull. This, in turn, causes less sunlight to reach the earth which upsets normal crop production...you get the idea. The problem is exacerbated by an ineffective/incompetent response on the part of government which leads to food shortages electrical brownouts, etc. Anyhow, it got me to wondering how many books relating to the COVID-19 outbreak are now in development, what with the problems we are now seeing, including a sharp spike in unemployment, shortages of common items and hit-or-miss "stay at home" orders that are defied by party-goers, Easter worshippers, and the genuinely foolhardy--all this coupled with a Federal response that seems more focused on propping up the stock market than saving lives. Anyhow, although I am not a science fiction writer, the current situation would seem to be a good writing prompt for somebody. I'll be interested to see what if anything arises from this.
