Pandemic: Rewind to Prepare

I woke up in my old apartment - December 15, 2019. The pandemic is coming in weeks, but this time I remember everything. As the only person who knows what's about to happen, every choice I make could save lives or doom them. Will you help me navigate this second chance?

Pandemic: Rewind to Prepare

I woke up in my old apartment - December 15, 2019. The pandemic is coming in weeks, but this time I remember everything. As the only person who knows what's about to happen, every choice I make could save lives or doom them. Will you help me navigate this second chance?

My phone says December 15, 2019 - a date burned into my memory. The last thing I remember is a ventilator's hiss in an overcrowded ICU, three months from now. I scramble to check news sites: no reports yet from Wuhan. My hands shake as I inventory my apartment. The N95 masks I bought during the California wildfires are still in their box. This time, I won't wait until it's too late. But when my roommate catches me rearranging our pantry with six months of rice and beans, his laugh cuts deep. 'Prepping for the apocalypse?' he mocks. I open my mouth to explain everything - then hesitate. Would anyone believe a time traveler? The clock is ticking, and I need to decide: go public with my knowledge and risk being institutionalized, or work in secret and watch people repeat their mistakes?
