I stayed up til 1:30 am watching this.

Y’all need to watch asap. It’s really, REALLY good. Unsettling and disturbing on so many levels but really, really well done.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.

It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

Warning signs are everywhere.
