I Watched The Movie 'Contagion' Yesterday & It Should Be Required Watching For All Americans.....

It accurately and eerily described and predicted what has and is happening with the Covid-19 pandemic we're currently facing.

This movie was released in 2011 - a full 9 years before this crisis we're in now - and Trump saying
'no one could have predicted this' is just total BS.

The Covid-19 pandemic we're dealing with was totally predictive and we actually - for all intents and purposes - were prepared to deal with it - except for the incompetence by the Trump administration and his greater concern for his re-election than for the health and welfare of the American People.

This movie had it down to how the virus originated; how it spread; the political and economic issues facing such a crisis - including people profiting from supposed cures and vaccines. It showed the value of 'testing' and 'contact tracing'. It detailed how easily these viruses spread around the world and the issues that organizations like the CDC and WHO have to deal with. It showed the reaction of the people and the shortages and riots created because of the fear. It illustrated the value of using masks, gloves and sanitizers. It also pointed out the importance of isolating in one's home. It pointed out the issues that had to be dealt with in creating a vaccine, distributing the vaccine and administering it.

In 2011 - it was considered more as 'science fiction' but it was based on real scientific information and facts. Today - watching it was all too real to view. All too predictive. All too prescient.

That's why I'm suggesting that all Americans should watch this movie. It just reinforces what our Public Health Officials are telling us now and really points out the incompetence in the Trump Administration in dealing with it. Maybe some of those people that are calling it a hoax or ascribe to conspiracy theories surrounding our current crisis - will walk away from this movie with a greater understanding as to what is going on in the bigger picture.

One thing that I hope we glean from this movie is how they formulated the vaccine in this movie. It's dosage form. It was not an injection. It was intended to be easily administered. It was given intra-nasally (i.e., shot into the nose and inhaled). This - in my opinion - was well thought out and I just hope that the powers that be that are working on a vaccine take note of this and create an intra-nasal vaccine.
