I had recently mentioned somewhere else that there are currently two pandemics in the books: the pale mare in Meereen and the greyscale that JonCon is about to unleash upon Westeros. There has been a theory floating around for a long time that greyscale can make its carriers immune to becoming zombies. A pandemic preventing a zombie apocalypse instead of causing is totes something GRRM would do, so I believe it.

A pandemic did break out.
Each of the Seven Kingdoms was sealed off from the others.
Discuss.

I too read till half of the 4th book but I am not so good at remembering things. I am looking forward to complete all 5 books.

I am doing fine.
The only pandemic in the world of ice and fire i can think of is Great Spring Sickness in 209 AC during the reign of Daeron II Targaryen, which in term of its impact to the world of ice and fire, the Green spring sickness is loosely based on the real life Black Death which killed over a third of the population of late medieval Europe

I am doing well so far. Hope you are doing well, AJ! This virus is worse than the White Walkers! I would rather take my chances with them!

Nightman , Leo of Red Keep , CoolJGS☺ , jon snow loves sansa , Seto , Marv , Winter_King , hehatesshe , pk9 , moviebuffbrad , bluerisk , President Ackbar™ , @forceghostackbar , shinnickneth , Troyal1 , Marendil , Feologild Oakes , DSDSquared , kevin Sorry, I have definitely missed some. Well, it's been sometime I posted here and that's why. Hey! I'm doing alright - trying to stay inside as much as possible. Fortunately, no one I know has gotten the virus. However, I have a sibling who works at the hospital in the U.S. where the first person in the nation to die from it was being treated at so...that's been stressful! In terms of Martin's world, I can't think of anything that hasn't already been mentioned in this thread. It's been a long time since I've read the books too.

My life has not changed much honestly. I started working from home about a month before this even started so my work schedule is the same. I barely leave the house ha ha.

I agree this virus is worse than White Walkers. I can't get to order food from outside. Such a massive punishment for me! Hope Seattle area is coping well in these times.
