The allegory is strong with this one. As a healthcare worker who's constantly battling misinformation about the virus (almost as much as fighting the virus itself), I sympathize with the characters in this movie. And I 100% believe that if it was a comet, rather than a virus, it would have been handled this way. If there was an extinction-level event hitting the Earth, I would spend the last moments exactly as the main character did. It also teaches a good lesson in tuning off the panic, and those that perpetuate it for their gain, and turning to those that matter the most: family and friends. This is a great movie that (purposely) cuts a little close to reality.
