watched at the weekend was from 2011 but could have been this year...

scarily reminiscent of the scenes we are seeing now..

R numbers, food panic buys, misinformation, panic, bats/pigs , conspiracy theories a plenty

strong cast as well.. early run out for Bryan Cranston i noted

I must admit watching this turned me on the side of the conspiracy theorists for a brief second lol.

I watched this back in the summer and was gobsmacked at the similarities.

Even weirder than that Boris� dad Stanley Johnson wrote a book in the 80s I think called �the Virus� about a pandemic.

The blurb states...and I quote...� A deadly pandemic, a randy epidemiologist and an idiotic US president are all ingredients in Stanley Johnson s fast-paced thriller that turns out to have been 40 years ahead of its time. --Patrick Kidd, The Times

Johnson blends concerns about infectious disease, animal rights and biological warfare�

I�ll say no more 😶😦😱. 😂
