Interesting and grimly fascinating seeing it now. Very prescient in some areas – panic over source and nature, the ‘fake news purveyors’ and the political pressures brought to bear on the scientists. But it all seemed to all happen overly quickly – although I suppose that is perfectly possible. Additionally the scientific progress seemed smoother than it was in reality for COVID. The scenes of social panic, approaching societal breakdown were plausible but again I could not help comparing it to the reality we lived through. The effect of isolation was also well shown, particularly on the few emblematic young people in the story.
A fascinating document.
