A pandemic is like a terrorist, it doesn't have to kill a lot to cause huge damage to society. Just look out the window, half of the world is in lock down.
Yes, that is true, but i don't see, how it is relevant to that movie, being compared with events in reality.
The real fear should be that a terrorist group out there is sitting back taking notes and watching how this plays out...getting tips on what to do in the future.

Completely surreal thoughts below :
One can bring, ideas like that, to the next level, e.g for few generations, in future, every new born, is being vaccinated or, in future, bio-engineering, some genes implanted, that would protect from a specific bio-weapon, like virus & then, in the times of war, you release it ;
of-course, non enemy countries would suffer as well. But the whole population of the enemy & if not the whole world, would be wiped out, except for your own citizens.
Could a single country sustain/maintain itself, since the world wouldn't be the same.
