Stephen King's son Joe Hill has another name for the virus - "Captain Trumps"

[Clash City Rocker]

Hill is an accomplished writer in his own right. If you’ve read the Stand (don’t do it now, the parallels will freak you out), you’ll get it.

Really wishing it would catch on.

5. Hill's "The Fireman" is a great pandemic novel in its own right

With plenty of callbacks to "The Stand"

6. We can call it the Orange Death, too.

We have already had the Black Death.

7. We need folk with TwitFace

To make #Captain Trumps a thing. It has a nice ring to it.

8. I guess the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Nt
