Contagion

[Powerplant]

Is anyone watching this? I wasn’t going to but keep flicking back to it...

Yep- only because I read an article written by the scientific adviser on the film recently-

I'm like you though- flicking 🙈.....!

That sounds interesting do you have a link to the article please? I’ve stopped flicking and actually watching it now.

I'll have a scan now...I'm pretty sure it was in the Guardian or Independent-

Ohh thanks I’ll have a read x

Yep dh put it on and has fallen asleep so just me watching it now

There was a longer more detailed one, but think I found it clicking the links through that!
If you've got Netflix theres a Documentary called Pandemic- another one worth flicking through-
I find it quite reassuring in a way knowing how well this has been researched by some unbelievably intelligent specialist scientists, also planned for (obviously not by the government, but seeing as though they keep saying they're 'following the science' now it can only be a good thing)

To what extent, who knows, but I'd trust the scientists....

Scientists all the way definitely. It’s extremely unnerving watching this as it unfolds but scientific data, epidemiology and social observations are spot on

Not the looting though thankfully - still need to remember it’s a film 😊

(Not quite the looting 'yet'....!)

Let's hope not though hey!

The looting is awful isn't it? I hope it doesn't come to that in RL... I'm telling myself it won't, but I watch a lot of films

It’s not true to life at all...nobody went to buy toilet roll

@magicstar1 - I don't think anyone could have predicted that one!

Where are you watching Contagion? I'd love to watch it.

@torthecatlady I'm 'hoping' it doesn't too (also watch alot of films!)...but it seems somewhat possible- there's alot of threads already on here demanding for lockdown to be lifted- and we're on day 4! Let's just hope they sort this food delivery mess out, or people will start taking to the streets, perhaps throwing their stockpiled toilet paper in defiance!

Anyway, Disney movie Day! 👍

@Orerref it was on ITV2 last night, it'll probably be on again (Its available on Amazon if you have it?)

I have Amazon Prime - would prefer not to have to pay for it given the times we're in. I wonder if I can get it on catch up. Thanks Taddda.

I watched it, after a friend mentioned it a few days ago and how accurate it was.

I thought it was well done.

I couldn’t believe how accurate it was.

I saw it when it first came out and I think it was brilliantly done.

A colleague of mine made her parents watch it to convince them to self isolate, and it worked 😂

I watched it! Enjoyed it and it made me feel thoughtful, though I found the Jude Law character annoying

I find Jude Law annoying generally...he has this constant look like you've just whipped his parking space ...

See...

Taddda Or the last pack of loo roll just as he was reaching for it.

I've seen Outbreak but not Contagion, is it better?
