I hadnt actually thought about that when I initially wrote this but yeah US forces would definitely have seen action as their bases were overrun. I'd imagine US marines would have been deployed to defend the embassy in London and consulates in other UK cities too.

Well it looks like the UK is effectively being quarantined by the international community over the new Covid strain spreading rapidly thorough London and south east England. The Netherlands and Belgium have banned all travel from the UK and it seems France is about to do the same . There was...

The Darien Scheme - Scotland's attempt to establish colonies in the Americas - essentially bankrupt the country and arguably made unification with England a necessity. Would the Acts of Union between Scotland and England have still at some point occured and if not, how could European history...

Looking back maybe some of the international stuff following the European outbreak I'd maybe do a bit differently as it was written before I had a more in depth knowledge of the geographical and political situation in parts of Europe then.

This was Edinburgh yesterday

London today

Toilet paper would definitely run out within 24 hours

Live webcam footage of Wuhan in China. Utterly creepy to watch. A city bigger than London with no cars or people moving about. A very "28 days later" feel to it.

What are some of the most well written and thought out TL's where the world basically goes to shit without an all out apocalypse? Along the lines of Rumsfeldia

Just watched it. My god people liked to smoke back then didn't they?

New York was apparently up and running in season 3 iirc one of the regional leaders was based there. How the hell did they clear all the bodies ? Realistically I think the major cities would be abandoned indefinitely. St Louis and Baltimore got lucky as they established quarantine zones. Where...
