Patient 1942

The world is under lockdown.

Containment zones are being created, and movement is very limited — even for essential services.

Police machinery is spread out too thin to help fight the virus. In all this chaos, there is a new case.

Patient 1942. But here’s the kicker. He’s found dead in his apartment, under mysterious circumstances.

Neighbours call the police. The body shows signs of infection. It is chalked up to be another case of the virus, and the building is put under extreme lockdown.

But the deceased patient’s brother (who also lives in the same building) doesn’t believe it.

He begins poking holes in the official investigation. And tries to get it reopened.

He even manages to get access to his dead brother’s old phones and finds strange videos and notes.

He is certain his brother has been murdered.

But how are you to solve a case from the confines of your room?

Was this the perfect crime?

How do you convince the police he wasn’t a victim to Covid19?

(We can make the family connected to politics or famous and influential in other ways to up the ante.)
