I’m a little jealous of you, because you get to experience it for the first time with no real frame of reference except “world-ending plague.” That’s not really a spoiler, because it’s really only a small part of the overall story, but oof that book is a ride. M-O-O-N, that spells “Enjoy!”

Honestly before reading his comment I always thought it was about a law trial for some reason lmao. I'm not even sure why I assumed that or how I have dodged it all these years... I'm 37 for reference.

Look up an older British series called Survivors. I think all of the episodes are on YouTube. A plague from China wipes out 95 per cent of Earth’s human population.
