A bad situation

"I know this is going to sound crazy, but just listen" Mark told his son. "You know that virus in Egypt a few weeks ago"? "Yeah"? Ollie replied, beginning to get freaked out by the situation. "It's lethal, and it's spreading, that's all you need to know" stated his father. "It's on the news, there have been a lot of deaths all across Europe, and it's reached the UK" he said with a sadness in his eyes that Ollie had never seen before.

"We need to get out of here as soon as possible, get to somewhere remote"

Ollie was stunned, was this really happening?
