The pandemic is simply testing the human limits, which, as it's already certified, aren't too generous. In Canada, the presentation of the movie was accompanied by protests from the part of the Canadian Federation of the Blind, against the way in which blindness is portrayed. Characters are loosing their humanity when they are loosing their sight. Which in real life could happen all the time, in the case of decisions took with the eyes wide open.
