As she puts it, the budget to prevent a viral outbreak or bio-weapon is a pittance compared to developing a single nuclear weapon when a virus can be far deadlier than a nuke. Thus, this entire public event will give her the budget she feels is needed to prevent a true terrorist attack in the future.]]

* UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}: The American remake translates the action to Atlanta, Georgia, the setting. The viewer may want to read these notes to get useful background information, or aspects of the series might remain opaque. The subtext is altered to reflect American fears and suspicions. The initial carrier of the mystery disease becomes a Syrian Moslem, and the economically disadvantaged district cordoned off is a largely black ghetto of Atlanta.
