Critics, per Wikipedia

Brigid Delaney of The Guardian found the "eerily timed" series "informative, inspiring, visually stunning and a great piece of storytelling". She was also "moved to tears multiple times" by the "kindness and dedication of those who work in the field". James Jackson of The Times thought the coronavirus outbreak "gives an extra reason to watch what's a valuable six-parter underpinned by strong storytelling as it follows doctors risking their lives in contagious conditions", giving it four stars out of five. Brad Newsome of The Sydney Morning Herald found the series compelling initially when it covers how doctors and public health officials deal with the seasonal flu, but less so "as the…

    Pandemic disease is one of my special interests, and has been for a long time. It's the reason I wrote the Newsflesh series, and the reason I used that series as an excuse to do an obscene amount of consulting research. I do not wish harm on people, but wow do I love the elegance of a good pandemic.

    Since Brexit, Britain has been hit by a series of huge economic punches: - Brexit - Trump 1.0 - Pandemic - Impacts of Russia's war on Ukraine - Energy market crisis - Trump 2.0 (now with added tariffs and vindictiveness) If those aren't "things have changed" reasons for undoing Brexit, nothing is!

    Pandemic actually ruined a bunch of data time series. (Sub topic of: we will actually never have enough data to prove much of anything, but still good to look.)

    Star Wars: Battlefront II (Pandemic Studios/LucasArts) was released 21 years ago. Excluding the handheld episodes, it would then take ten years for the series to return, under the direction of DICE/EA.

    "...That perfect petri dish exists right now, a ProPublica investigation found. For over two months, an outbreak of bird flu has raged uncontrolled on a Utah farm that raises thousands of mink for fur. Mink have lungs and airways that on a cellular level are remarkably similar to those of people; they have caught and spread other flus and infected some humans with COVID-19. Instead of trying to stop the outbreak and prevent it from spilling into humans, state and federal officials have done…

    That's awesome, I just hadn't heard of it before and so I'm excited to get a group together to try this. The Forbidden series has always felt quite Pandemic coded to me so I'm curious how they'll implement Legacy features in this series compared to Pandemic :)

    I'm an avid reader and recently finished Bobby Akart's The Pandemic series about a genetically modified strain of the pneumonic plague used as a bio weapon. This incident in Russia scares the shit out of me!!! Love his apocalyptic books, but each one could possibly happen, which is scary as hell.

    No. 3759 in our regular series “Pandemic responses lay the groundwork for fascism by encouraging people to set aside their humanity”. Even if someone did a truly terrible thing like in this case, we as humans should have more dignity than to even entertain such a response.
