I’m trying to wrap my head around the following:
Spoiler
what caused the first general seizure in the first episode? Were all already infected and acted normal until that point in time? Or the “virus” was already in each human but not yet activated but in some selected individuals?
I didn’t watch nor read any commentary, so I don’t know if there is a plain explanation already clear to everybody :)


I’m not sure its a virus. Instead it’s a signal/waveform from space that affects brains.
the seizures, all of them, is a collective adjustment reacting to collective policy adjustment.
The first seizure event, imo then, is the assimilation into the collective.
I’m not sure how you came to the conclusion from your first point. Man on TV said, that signal contained RNA sequence, which was used to create virus / psychic glue.
