Without specifically spelling it out, the first two episodes help explain why some got infected immediately
In the first episode of the show, we're told that within the post-breakout world, the virus is spread by bites from tendrils within the mouths of the infected. But what we weren't told is how the infection began in the first place.
The pre-credits scene in that first episode, featuring a decades-old interview with a scientist , explained the conditions in which the virus might be able to be created... specifically, global warming. Which, as most scientists now agree, is a very real thing. During the pre-credits scene in the second episode, we actually get to see ground zero for the outbreak. A scientist is snatched by soldiers in Jakarta, Indonesia, and brought to a lab where she gets to examine recently deceased infected. The soldier informs the scientist that the infection appears to have originated in a flour factory, which the scientist calls a"perfect substrate". Which basically means, flour is the ideal carrier system for the virus to piggyback on to.
But also, throughout that day, Joel begins the day by attempting to make pancakes , but they're out of pancake mix. Sarah visits her elderly neighbour during the day, and when she is offered a cookie , she turns it down. And later that night, Joel forgot to pick up a birthday cake for his at-home celebrations.
So it is very likely that the infected batch of flour was already in mass circulation, but because both Joel and Sarah successfully and/or accidentally avoided a lot of flour consumption, they missed out on being naturally infected by the virus.Episode Three will be available to watch on Sky Atlantic and stream with a NOW Entertainment Membership from 2am on Monday, 30 January.
