Cleveland is a city in Ohio, a state kinda in the middle of the
country. Its glory days are kinda past. It was the setting for
the Drew Carey Show, which is where this whole joke started.
I like the quarantine idea, will post more when I'm not writing
from my smartphone at a bubble tea place.

Something with the 'virus', remember that 'Mad Cow Disease' is
created when the cows ate feed that had ground up animal meat in
it.
Fluffy Ponies are known to eat their dead, especially Fluffy
Ponies in the Garbage Dump stories (again, I have no idea who
started that) and in the wild when their 'friends' puff up and
explode from gas buildup in the corpses, and they then eat the
'magical tummy sketties' that, while making them very sick, does
give them the nutrition they need to somehow make it through the
winter/lean times.
So why not a highly contagious 'Mad Cow Disease' variant, that
due to the large amount of primate genetic materials used to
give Fluffy Ponies their (limited) cognitive abilities and their
throats/voice boxes, their bodies are releasing the virus in a
short-lived form that is transmittable by either air or fluid.
Hence, the 'Virus' angle can be covered, and having the city
piled with hordes of rapidly breeding and dying Fluffy Ponies
that are spreading the disease amongst themselves and to Humans,
abusers and lovers alike, who come into contact with them,
Cleveland can be isolated as a bio-hazard site.

Do we want to quite literally blow Cleveland up or did we just
want to turn it into a Fallout-esque town?

A good question. I would say the city should be left
inhospitable at the end of the Fall, but there's plenty of
ruined buildings still intact. Kinda like Chernobyl.

Dunno how I feel about non-fluffies getting infected, but Mad
Fluff Disease is a good idea.

Two Angles:
A) Fatal to Fluffy Ponies, Mildly Discomforting to Others. The
disease spreads like wildfire through the Herds, causing extreme
mood-swings, agression and eventual organ failure in Fluffy
Ponies, but in other mammals causing some pronounced flu-like
symptoms and a noticeable swelling of the tongue, causing
temporary speech impediment .... causing people to speak like
Fluffies. Purely for the Lulz.
B) Traumatic to Everything. The disease causes extreme mood
swings, bouts of temporary amnesia, vomiting, 'the squirts',
fainting spells and generally a great deal of shenanigans.
Fluffy Ponies are acting like normal, because they are always
infected, but the sheer mass of them breeding, shitting, dying
and rotting in the city is causing a situation to the point
where people can't help but get infected. Again, temporary, and
purely for comedic/black comedy effect.

I think A would be the more appropriate angle. Fluffies almost
never succeed in hurting humans no matter what they try. But
wasn't Mad Cow only communicable if you ate infected meat?
Fluffies are hardly a food staple to anything but wild
predators.

I wouldn't mind seeing the virus almost harmless to humans
unless they pass it sexually - and then you have this contingent
of people with this disease that states "Yep, I bopped a
fluffy."
But I also think that's too much story for our time.

Here's the unified story structure as I understand it:
The Cleveland tourist board has made a massive investment in
Spaghetti Land, a fluffy amusement park. The nationwide
advertisement reaches the ferals fluffies and they start making
their way to Cleveland.
In an unrelated move, Hasbro Biotoys starts their program to
release their new Fluffy Pony 2.0: The Fuzzy pony. These fuzzies
are little more than living stuffed animals that do exactly as
they are told. They can't reproduce, they're all the same color,
and they require Biotoy brand fluffy food to survive.
In order to get rid of the fluffies dominating the market,
plaguing the country, and generally causing havok, Biotoys
released a few Fuzzy ponies with a virus they called "Mad Fluffy
Disease" that lives in the intestines of fluffies. It's spread
by contact with fluffy feces, and causes fluffies to have
horrible gastric pains, followed by diarrhea, mental problems
and eventually death. It doesn't bother humans, unless massive
quantities of the virus are introduce, in which case it only
causes their tongues to swell, and them to talk like fluffies.
As the fluffies converge on Cleveland, the virus really begins
to ramp up. The mass of fluffies begins to cause huge problems
with the sewer systems, causing gas build up, and human
infections. With Fuzzy ponies running around assainating
Fluffies, Spaghetti Land in ruins, and the odd radioactive
fluffy running about, The government steps in, and declares
Cleveland a disaster area, and calls in the army.
Ultimately, the fluffies overtake the city and everything gets
so bad that the army pulls out. As the last helicopters leave,
millions of fluffies cheer and blow raspberries at the leaving
humans. Unicorns start throwing sparks at them as they leave,
but the sewer gas problem has reached critical levels, and
destorys the entire city in a catastrophic fireball that sinks
the city into lake erie. Fluffy ponies all drown.
This seem like a good outline?

From my understanding the "Mad Fluffy Disease" is unrelated to
the Fuzzy ponies and is brought about by increased cannibalism
among the crowded fluffy herds. Anubis is firmly against an
actual manufactured anti-Fluffy virus

Sounds like a badass story. Just a few points I'd debate:
[list type=decimal]
[li]The fuzzies don't introduce the disease, the disease comes
naturally from constant exposure to fluffy feces, corpses, and
the rare case of cannibalism. Like Tabula said, I think
manufacturing a disease is too easy. Fluffies dying is kinda the
cornerstone of fluffy story dark humor. Their lives are short,
brutal, and often filled with suffering and misery. Which is
what makes it funny in a very kinda-feels-wrong-to-laugh-at way.
Fluffies being the source of their own demise just adds to
that.[/li]
[li]The fuzzies aren't released until the quarantine goes into
effect. [/li]
[li]I can't imagine the unicorns hadn't shot sparks right up
until the military leaves. What ultimately sets off the chain
reaction has to be something really really dramatic.[/li]
[/list]

If Fluffy sparks is all it took to set off the gas, then any
spark would have done it. What I'm suggesting is the sparks of a
million unicorns in unison could easily do it.
Actually, it could look like the fluffies have won, and
Cleavland falls beneath the mass of fluffies. The Fuzzies
finally find all the fluffies and start murdering them en mass,
causing a million unicorns to shoot sparks at once, thus leading
to their own destruction.
