I guess you could say it started when the meteors hit. Some landed smack in the middle of cities, so several hundred people died in the impact and a few thousand breathed in the strange cloud that came off of them a little after they landed. That was when the news started to cover it, stating that scientist have discovered something in the mist. Something... Alive. Then the paranoia set in, reports of mutilated bodies torn to shreds started to surface, religious leaders stated it was a sign of the apocalypse, and strange incidents with suspects resisting arrest and even attacking police with bites.
Soon people quickly started to catch on to what was going on, and prepared for war against the "Infested". That was when the killings started. Riots broke out across the county as people started "Fighting back".
Soon people were getting beaten and lynched in the streets just for being sick. Mass suicides led to them being littered with bodies of the dead.
It was a shame no one listened to the part about those things in the mist dying when they came in contact with our air.
