Man made virus in China spreads around the world and kills 98% of the population?
Sound familiar?
I saw this back in the day and also have it on DVD box set. It was Sci-Fi at its finest at the time and hasn't really been bettered. The recent remake, which left us in the air when it was cancelled after only 2 seasons, was nowhere near as good, despite the bigger budget.
I urge you all to watch it to get some tips, when the current virus wipes out most of us, if you are a survivor you will need them.
