The Cordyceps take over is obviously classified as an ELE. I’m curious if that is a known easter egg or coincidental? Has anyone seen any references to this connection?

Coincidental. It’s nothing.

It does seem to me like if they intended that there would be at least one moment acknowledging it, so coincidence is most likely.

Ah! I wasn't paying attention to the actual sub I was in, saw a TLoU question, and assumed that was the sub I was in, haha

Nah it's a variation of Ellen which is a variation of Helen. You know just like Helen of Troy the face who launched a thousand ships similar to Ellie with the fireflies.

Is that the analysis that the creators gave? Or is that a common interpretation?

In the movie deep impact a reporter gets word of the President speaking in hushed tones about “Ellie” and assumes he’s having an affair. It’s her whole motivation to dig into what’s happening and eventually realize the chatter she’s been exposed to is about E.L.E. - am extinction level event.
