Another data aggregating site.
Seems to show a slow-down in Chinese cases, so thie authoritarian measures are presumably taking effect. Now witness the dissolution of historical Western supremacy as all the democratic nations flounce around with their hands waving spastically in the air as absolutely-preventative measures remain uninvoked and everyone dies.

Has there ever been any sci-fi postulating the idea of a disease or condition that decimates everyone over a certain age? Like, most everyone who's hit puberty?
It's a thought that popped into mind the other day and I've been mulling it over since, trying to envision how that might pan out (and, trying ever so hard not to descend into Lord of The Flies).
How long would it take for kids to work out how everything works again? What if the only surviving adults were idiots or evil?

Taiwan, still only 6 deaths. Population 23.78m
UK population 66.65m, so if we followed Taiwan's procedures we could be looking at 16, maybe 17 deaths.
Instead... 26097 deaths.
Taiwan is geographically a lot closer to Wuhan than the UK.
