Fast movement. High mortality. Clear and obvious symptoms. Transmission only after illness starts. Vaccines that grant full and permanent immunity. These are common tropes in fictional plagues, but we saw almost none of this things with the COVID-19 pandemic. How did our narratives of plague wind up this way, and what kind of stories do we need to prepare for the next one?
