Lol. They do find other survivors, as well as an immunization. The crux of the series is much less about the outbreak as it is about the existentialist loss the characters feel in regard to the fall of civilization. The earliest story elements go back several years, and yes, prior to the lock-down's of 2020. As to the parameters of virus, the “Traveler’s Plague”, or Yersinia Pestis dsRNA Polymerase tetra-virus (YSRPT-88), is defined as a novel pathogenic hanta-virus that is communicable through touch transmissibility as well as airborne bacteriological respiratory infection. As the virus progresses symptoms include damage to internal organs and glands, edema, and severe rapid onset internal hemorrhagic bleeding. The carrier develops a high fever, loses continence, and slowly drowns in a cocktail of their own fluids - experiencing hypoxia and dementia. This disorientation is coupled with a cascade failure of the endocrine system (and particularly the adrenal gland) which leads to blood pressure fluctuations, corticosteroid release, and violent outbursts. Eventually this leads to a loss of heart and brain function, and of course, death.

But to answer the question - the virus was developed as an RNA gain-of-function augmentation to female Mitochondrial DNA by a genetics company known as "Pyrrhic Logistics". The reason they did this, how it spread, and how they fought to contain it, is something that comes to light much later. Patient Zero is Vincent "Stitch" Hammer, the son of Pyrrhic Logistics Front Officer Sylvia Hammer - both of whom are seen toward the end of the trailer.
