Basically, if any character coughs or sneezes, it's a sign they're absolutely fucked except for Abby in episode 9, who starts coughing and then stops as her immunity kicks in.

Having left Boulder for Ogunquit, Fran and Stu spend the night in a deserted house in Nebraska. While Stu goes into town for supplies, Fran tries to get an old well pump working, only for Flagg to make her fall in. As she lies injured in the well, Flagg appears to show her visions of herself dying of her injuries as Stu is killed in an accident, leaving baby Abigail to starve without her parents. He offers to make it all better, in exchange for a kiss and permission to see through her eyes occasionally. She appears ready to go through with it, but only so she can get close enough to bite him before she tells him to go to hell.

The Stand (2020) / int_23a1e2a9	type	Adaptation Deviation
The Stand (2020) / int_23a1e2a9	comment	Adaptation Deviation: Drogan dies in the novel in Las Vegas, but here he dies in Boulder after delivering Flagg's message to Abigail and the others. Several characters are gender- and/or race-swapped, including Larry Underwood, Nick Andros, Ralph/Ray Brentner, Judge Harris, and Sheriff Baker. In the novel, Teddy Weizak dies in the explosion Nadine and Harold cause. In the miniseries, he's shot by Nadine when he catches her and Harold taking explosives. In the miniseries, New Vegas is a chaotic, debauched place with people taking drugs, drinking and having public sex. In the novel, Vegas under Flagg was a Repressive, but Efficient society where drug use was punished with crucifixion (in fact, it was commented on that Flagg's "efficient" society would be more attractive to technically-capable people, who appreciate structured environments, leaving Boulder with fewer people able to help get the lights on or even run weapon systems). In the novel, Frannie's child is a boy, whom she names Peter after her father. In this series the child is a girl, who Frannie names Abby after Mother Abigail. In the novel and first adaptation, "Hemingford Home" is the name of the homestead that Mother Abigail's father established in Nebraska. Here, it's the name of the assisted living facility in Colorado where Mother Abigail is living when the plague occurs. Harold's older sister Amy (who is also Frannie's best friend) was The Ghost in both the original book and the 1994 series. Here she appears briefly in the first episode and gets a few lines. Garvey, who exists only in the expanded version of the novel, is originally part of a traveling gang of ex-soldiers who are keeping a "zoo" of women as rape-slaves. In the book they have their eye on Fran and ambush the group consisting of Fran, Stu, Harold and Glen, and a shootout ensues. Dayna and Sue Stern take the opportunity to attack their captors, ending with Sue being the one to beat Garvey to death with the butt of his own rifle. In the 1994 adaptation, Sue and Dayna's joining the group isn't shown. In the 2020 adaptation, Garvey is traveling with two women, though the purpose is the same. Rather than an ex-soldier, he appears to be a "Men's Rights Activist" type, and a former truck driver. Sue is killed during the fight, and Dayna's the one who kills Garvey.

However, he can't "see" Tom or see that Abigail is dead. Compare this to Mother Abigail, who can also enter dreams and receives instructions from God, but with little clarity as to how these instructions will ultimately help.

Whatever the subject matter was gave him a reputation amongst his classmates as being a "potential school-shooter." Given what we see of his other works, it can be inferred the content was pretty dark. Something happened to Frannie's brother before the outbreak, though the only information we get is that he was deaf and whatever happened seems to be a subtle Trauma Button for her.

This immunity is genetic, as babies born of immune parents are also immune, while Frannie's first child nearly dies because the father wasn't immune. Thankfully, she recovers.

When Harold comes to her house, he finds her in a bathtub after downing pills and is able to save her. General Starkey, after giving Stu the aid needed to get out of the Vermont facility, likewise shoots himself rather than succumb to Captain Trips. Before the General is Jim Ellis, the doctor most in contact with Stu and his closest ally in the facility he was being kept in; when he contracts the virus and is one of the few people still alive among the personnel, the doctor refuses to die in agony from the disease. The only thing keeping him from killing himself was his desire to help Stu try and escape from the facility, and he arrives just in time for Dr. Cobb to try and kill them both (with Cobb commenting that he thought Ellis had "opted for the early check-out" to "beat the traffic"). He gets shot for his troubles, but is at least spared a horrible and agonizing death from the virus. The conspiracy theorist radio host Harold listens to shoots himself on the air after becoming infected, rather than let the disease finish him off. Rita eventually gives into despair over being one of the last people alive, and intentionally overdoses on pills. Harold puts himself out of his misery after being seriously injured and left to die by Nadine. Nadine jumps to her death out a window after realizing that Flagg is just using her and she won't survive giving birth to his child.

Flagg gains no benefit from it except his pleasure from torturing Lloyd, and while it might drive Lloyd away from him in any other instance, Lloyd is literally a captive audience and Flagg is his only salvation.

The Stand (2020) / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: The US military is portrayed much nicer than in the book or previous miniseries, as they're legitimately just trying to contain the outbreak rather than focusing on a coverup. General Starkey, who is willing to let Stu leave the Vermont facility once there's no one left to tell him not to, even states that the soldiers all stayed focused on doing their jobs long after the predictive models said they would have in this situation. In the novel, Starkey has journalists who try to cover the superflu murdered and deliberately spreads the virus to America's enemies and rivals so the world wouldn't find out that it originated from the U.S. It is not known or shown in the miniseries whether he ever did or didn't do any of these things, only implied that he didn't.

The Stand (2020) / int_8a817c2a	comment	Garvey, who exists only in the expanded version of the novel, is originally part of a traveling gang of ex-soldiers who are keeping a "zoo" of women as rape-slaves. In the book they have their eye on Fran and ambush the group consisting of Fran, Stu, Harold and Glen, and a shootout ensues. Dayna and Sue Stern take the opportunity to attack their captors, ending with Sue being the one to beat Garvey to death with the butt of his own rifle. In the 1994 adaptation, Sue and Dayna's joining the group isn't shown. In the 2020 adaptation, Garvey is traveling with two women, though the purpose is the same. Rather than an ex-soldier, he appears to be a "Men's Rights Activist" type, and a former truck driver. Sue is killed during the fight, and Dayna's the one who kills Garvey.

The first episode jumps back and forth between the post-apocalyptic society of the Boulder Free Zone and the last days of modern civilization as Captain Trips ravages the world. The last scene then flashes all the way back to Campion escaping the initial outbreak with his family, becoming patient zero for the pandemic. The second episode does something similar, bouncing between Larry's group arriving in Boulder in the present, Larry's experiences in New York as the plague ravages it, and Lloyd's time in prison as the place is overwhelmed by the plague and then abandoned. Episode 3 and 4 do the same thing, jumping between past events of the survivors first coming together, and the "present" of the Free Zone community forming.

Julie Lawry is a minor character in the novel and 1994 adaptation. She mainly exists to meet Tom and Nick in Kansas, then tell Lloyd that Tom is in Vegas.

The first miniseries was more or less set in the time it was made, i.e., the early 1990s, while this miniseries is set in the 21st century. This is shown by the presence of social media in the story, as well as the upgrading of some of the characters' dialogue (such as the President's emergency address to the nation, where the phrase "radical anti-establishment groups" from the novel has been replaced with "social media").
