你知道過去 100 年，讓最多人致死的災難是什麼嗎？
是碳排放？海嘯？世界大戰？
還是……
1918 年爆發的西班牙流感，曾經造成全世界約五億人感染，死亡人數上看一億人，比一戰和二戰死亡人數的加總還多。這場橫掃世界的瘟疫，距今不過一百年，流感帶來的致命威脅也從未遠離。英國公共電視 BBC 與科學家合作，製作了本集節目，以大規模的社會實驗，模擬致命流感爆發的情形。
流行病學的數學模式專家指出，英國目前的流行病計畫憑藉的是樣本僅有數百或數千人的有限資料集，這表示流行病學家必須努力揣測人的行為，要是揣測錯誤，結果也就可能錯誤。僅管現代的人已經有許多可被追蹤的數位資訊，然而，以疾病傳遞方式為主軸的資料集卻還不足，因為這樣的資料集需要串連兩方面的數據：移動的動態，以及接觸人群的情況。
於是，收集數據的任務，被交到 BBC 流行病團隊手上，數學模式專家開出...
