Financial markets in ruins as nations close borders and ban public events
DOOMSDAY IS HERE!

PANIC is sweeping the world as the killer coronavirus threatens life as we know it by triggering abject fear, financial chaos, international tension, and horror, as stacks of infected corpses are burned to avoid spreading the disease!

In Doomsday scenarios resembling the Black Death, which killed more than half of the world’s population during the Dark Ages, frantic government officials are imposing quarantines and closing borders to stop the virus — with little or no effect.

The disastrous consequences include:

China being blamed for causing the epidemic that’s leftover 80,000 people infected worldwide and more than 2,700 dead.

An economic nightmare as more than 200,000 flights have been canceled and global stock markets lost $2 trillion in just two days!

Sheer terror as a South Korean cult deliberately infected more than 1,000 people in an effort to hurry the end of the world!

Thousands quarantined in Italy as festivals were canceled, fashion shows shuttered and the Mission: Impossible 7 movie set closed down!

Iran’s borders sealed as the nation’s deputy health minister, Iraj Harirchi, revealed he has the deadly bug — and Japan has threatened to cancel this year’s Summer Olympic Games!
