It really shook me to my core watching people do ALL the shit we thought was just hollywood absurdity, or worse

To be fair, they WERE prepared, and then the administration came in and ripped up all the preparations.

We last rewatched that one when pandemic control measures were still in moderate swing, had more than a few bleak chuckles.

That sort of thing is why @seananmcguire.bsky.social describes the Newsflesh-era Mira Grant as the optimistic one, and the new phase usually ends with extinction for the human race.

(I mean some parts are definitely spot on! But other parts are like, hilariously "we assume that the bad guys will be driven by wanting to beat the pandemic" and I mean it's not the worst assumption but also gosh, I wish)

The Jude Law subplot was the most prescient of all. Other than eventually being prosecuted as a grifter.

CDC should have said we are limited to 100 million shots, and once it’s gone it’s gone. Karens from across the nation would have besieged Atlanta demanding the vaccine.
