I take it you recognised Drakeford as the Machine..
the brainwashed lets lock down harder and forever and name call people who are not as selfish or idiotiuc as themselves as the subservient cave dwellers..
and those wanting this nonsense to end as the natural world people ,who rebuild the world and make sure the mistakes of the machine never happen again...

Yep

Yep

it relates quite well to whats happening now.. unlike all the films made about virus type things where the assumption has always been huge amounts of death infection zombies etc. the Omega this aint.

Just struck me as topical.
