Non-Indicative Title: Despite the title of the movie being "Viral", there's no virus involved in the plot. The sickness is caused by a parasite.

Emergency Authority: It's announced that to handle the worm flu crisis, US President Barack Obama has declared martial law, with all law enforcement and emergency personell being federalized. Military helicopters drop supplies off, while soldiers wearing hazmat suits haul away any infected people identified, while preventing others from leaving areas of infection (by deadly force if necessary). Soldiers begin patrolling the streets and declare that people must stay in their homes, with it being a felony to harbor anyone infected. Later they are also indicated to be firebombing sites so the infection is stopped. Also, the governor of California orders that people evacuate the region. This is portrayed as harsh, but probably necessary.
