Ten points to which ever genius at the Hallmark channel that came up with the idea of airing Steven King's The Stand during the swine flu panic. In case you are unfamiliar with the premise of the book and mini-series, a synopsis can be found at Wikipedia. I wonder if now would be a good time to show 28 Days Later or maybe I Am Legend too? As it is, you can't buy a surgical mask or hand sanitizer in San José. Believe me, I've tried.
I don't get the whole thing behind 'hand sanitizer.' What's wrong with soap? And if the 'sanitizer' is antibacterial, it will leave the strongest bacteria alive to multiply.
Maybe they should add 'The Andromeda Strain' to the playlist, along with 'Outbreak' and any documentaries on ebola available.

Sadly, if that was the line-up for a 24 hour death, disease and destruction marathon, I'd break out the beer and popcorn and get comfy on my couch for a while. Maybe we can suggest to Cinecanal.
