I liked it! I think the story itself is told in this really neat way where it avoids a lot of (imo) more interesting narrative, or at least more typical pandemic/post apocalyptic stories - like the actual fall of civilization, or how society started to revive - and the result is this kind of negative space image that I really like. The pandemic itself is done in a way that settles into the uncanny valley. It's got a lot of elements of how that played out in real life, but it's just a little off in a way that makes it more extreme but not quite believable, but in a way that I found enjoyable if off-putting.
