    If you’re still interested in the theme (which I certainly find interesting!) I see no reason to let it go.

    It doesn’t strike me as derivative of 80s movies. At least from the part posted, I get more of an Andy Weir vibe, the near-future perspective, pulling from all those extant schools and organizations. Also, even amid words like “quarantine,” I really don’t think I will ever truly associate the surrealist absurdities of our recent history with hard sci-fi alien virus stories. For what that’s worth.

    I think whether it’s “worth continuing” though depends more on your interests and goals than the state of the piece itself, right? I take it you’re still interested, or you wouldn’t be here! So if you don’t have anything else you’re more enthusiastic about, why not? 🙂
