7. Working for a Cure
Fans don’t want Fear to be a show about virologists huddled over microscopes – that wouldn’t be any fun. However, a subplot involving Army researchers would work, or something like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based in Atlanta seen in the first season of The Walking Dead.
The local equivalent would be the L.A. County Department of Public Health. The 1995 disaster movieOutbreak managed to make a pretty good thriller around a monkey spreading a fictional strain of Hemorrhagic Fever called Motaba to a small California town. In the movie, the Army medical team was able to treat the disease with an experimental cure made from an Army serum and the monkey’s antibodies.
