The outbreak of a novel coronavirus has many convinced that we are headed for the scenario depicted in the movie “Contagion,” a 2011 thriller about a pandemic with a death toll in the millions.
“Had the whole family watch Contagion last night to prepare them for what is to come,” one user wrote on Twitter.The 9-year-old flick has become one of the most popular rentals for video streaming services in 2020. According to its distributor, Warner Bros., the film was the 270th-most watched among its catalog titles in December. Since the start of the year, it has jumped up to No. 2.
I first watched “Contagion” on a plane a few years after it was released. Since the coronavirus outbreak, I have watched the movie three more times to track the differences between the real disease, COVID-19, and the fictional virus, which was named MEV-1. I also spoke to scientists — some who worked on the movie and some who didn’t — to gather some additional insight.
Less than 10 minutes into the movie, Paltrow’s character dies of encephalitis, swelling of the brain, following some very scary-looking seizures.
