Finally, we saw this much talked about movie Contagion (2012) on Amazon Prime.
Many of you might already know that this movie shows a lot of things similar to the current Covid-19 scenario, though the death tolls across the world, rioting etc are shown as more severe.
There is a talk about not touching faces, washing hands frequently and keeping distance.
Medical workers too are shown as getting infected. The ending though on a brighter side was not up to the mark, but that is fine.
Overall, it was a well made movie.
So if you did watch this movie, what is your opinion about this?

The inspiration for this movie comes from SARS. As it is now, they are all infectious diseases. I hope there will be no more such infectious diseases.

Well, it is up to you. Initially, even I felt a bit sad, but as the movie progresses, one can also see how things can be tackled even in such challenging times.

I haven’t seen the movie in recent times but if I remember it’s didn’t affect those that carries certain genetic markers. Of course our Covid-19 doesn’t fallow that so nobody is immune to it.

Yeah there is a difference, but the movie shows people rioting and fighting due to severe conditions.
