Inadvertently exposed the the preplanning of Covid.

Hannah Fry is a British academic, author and radio and television presenter. In 2018, she hosted a BBC TV documentary called Contagion! The BBC Four Pandemic, which inadvertently exposed the the preplanning of Covid.

Activities

In March 2018, she fronted a BBC TV documentary called Contagion! The BBC Four Pandemic. In the program, Fry "masterminds the experiment, and adopts the role of PATIENT ZERO by walking the streets of Haslemere in Surrey to launch the outbreak."[1] Haslemere is a small town in southern England, and it featured heavily in the documentary as the place the virus was first seeded. The contagion then spread around the UK via a Smart Phone App downloaded by "volunteers".[2][3][4]

On the 29th of February 2020, Haslemere made the news as the host town of the UK’s "real" Patient Zero for Covid-19.[5]

And on April 1st 2021, this Fry confirmed on her own website: "In 2018, Hannah made a documentary called Contagion: the BBC4 Pandemic. Fast forward to 2020 when the idea of a pandemic shifted out of the realm of fiction and became very very real. But although the show’s pandemic was fictional, the data was not – and the team at LSHTM were able to use everything they collected for the programme to model the real-world pandemic, which set a new gold standard on which the trajectory of the UK response was based."[6]
