Shivaji
Satam
Compared
The
Plot
To
The
Current
Pandemic
Shivaji
Satam
recalled
the
episode
and
compared
the
plot
to
the
current
Coronavirus
situation.
He
was
quoted
by
Mumbai
Mirror
as
saying,
"One
of
the
most
memorable
CID
episodes
for
me
was
The
Case
of
the
Deadly
Virus."
‘It
Was
Quite
Similar
To
The
Current
Outbreak’
The
actor
further
added,
"It
was
quite
similar
to
the
current
outbreak,
in
which,
faced
with
an
unknown
virus
threat,
we
needed
masks
and
bodysuits
to
handle
it.
Of
course,
back
then,
all
we
could
show
was
a
vial
of
the
fast-spreading
contagion,
but
the
premise
was
the
same."
The
Team
Was
Seen
Wearing
Protective
Bodysuits,
Masks
&
Gloves
In
the
episode,
the
makers
got
a
lot
of
things
right
as
the
actors
were
seen
wearing
protective
bodysuits,
gloves
and
masks
in
order
to
remain
safe.
Just
as
the
Coronavirus
doesn't
have
any
cure,
the
deadly
virus
shown
in
that
particular
episode
too
didn't
have
any
cure
and,
in
the
episode,
it
was
said
that
the
only
cure
for
this
is
death!
Ashutosh
Gowariker
Had
Acted
In
That
Episode
Interestingly,
Ashutosh
Gowariker
had
acted
in
that
episode.
The
episode
begins
with
a
voice-over
saying,
"This
seemingly
harmless
vial
contains
a
dangerous
strand
of
a
new
virus.
A
kind
previously
unknown
to
man.
Not
only
does
it
cause
a
horrifying
death,
it
also
spreads
like
wildfire,
taking
more
and
more
lives.
The
only
cure
for
this
virus
is
death."
Also,
the
doctor,
in
the
episode,
revealed
that
the
virus
spreads
rapidly
and
can
be
transmitted
by
sneezing,
coughing
or
shaking
hands.
