    With everything happening right now, it's hard not to think about "Contagion". This video essay examines the scientific accuracy of the film, as well as comparing and contrasting the fictional MEV-1 virus with COVID-19.

    The difference between the movie "Contagion (2011)" and the reality of Covid-19, is the deaths occurred quicker in the movie and easier to trace the "R Naught" (R0=Br). So it's relatable. In our time of Covid-19, it is slower and not as deadly. So, just as men didn't believe microscopic germs in the past can kill you or make you sick, decades ago.... history has taught us nothing.

    For those that remember the release of this film. I'm currently in Australia and at the time I was attending university. At Melbourne CBD they had people in full hazmat suits handing out disinfectant wipes when people got off the train. That was 8 years ago and it was a really cool marketing strategy to get people excited for the film. Now theyre doing the exact same thing only its now the real deal. Theyre standing exactly the same station and spot handing wipes and washing down train carriages. I'm just waiting for someone to shake me awake.

      I honestly didn't understand why it wasn't talked about more when it came out. Granted, I've always been a sucker for outbreak movies(zombies, real life stuff, you name it) but I always thought Contagion was fantastic, and truly terrifying.

    I saw Contagion for the first time last year during my "best of the decade" roundup as I was minesweeping random well-reviewed movies I missed when they came out. I'm glad that through this video I could refresh my memory on the key bits without having to rewatch the entire movie again haha. Really cool to see your montage of all the accurate components, specifically the way the people with power/privilege use that knowledge for themselves, completely forgot about that! I could honestly watch an entire series of short videos on each of the ways something in Contagion came true with COVID-19. Great video, thanks for persevering through difficult times!

    In this film society completely shuts down and fast. People are looting and not going into work. Trash isn’t being picked up. Electricity shut down. Only getting food from the government. We can see right now that was an unrealistic prediction.

    • @daniel_netzel
      @daniel_netzel  4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      So I think everything in the film is plausible, but definitely not necessarily a prediction of what we're facing. The virus in this movie is a lot more serious than COVID-19, and honestly that was kind of the point of the video for me was to show how different these situations are, while still encouraging people to take everything seriously.

    Even without the context of COVID-19 this is still a great movie to watch, easily one of Soderberg's best. Another fantastic job with the background work on the film and the topic as per usual, as someone who studies this type of stuff I can say you did a bang-up job.

    I've been playing the phone app plague inc. For those who dont know you play a character of a bacteria or virus and try to eliminate life on earth.
    From what I've learned is if the rate of lethality is greater than the rate of transmission then you have a low chance of spreading it to other countries and eliminating the world.
    In the movie, the rate of lethality was too high to have spread to that many people.
    The app use to be free but apparently they are charging 99c to profit off of the interests during this crisis? I'm just guessing.

      @@Ivanmaradonaaa The mortality rate of the known cases. There is enough knowledge to make an estimation. The testing-to-case ratio is different in Italy, therefore the number is influenced by that. When you mainly test people who are severely ill, you'll get a higher mortality rate then when doing widespread testing. There is much more elaborate data from South Korea, which acted phenomenally quick and therefore could test a lot more people, producing more accurate numbers. Not sure how ethics play into that, as this is mainly a statistical issue. An ethical issue is what the orange moron is doing right now in holding that number against economic expectations and essentially sacrificing those 2% for some imagined greater good.

      Agreed! We should call it the carnivore virus. Not only are these diseases being created in the meat markets, but the entire meat industry is the number one contributor to global warming (surpassing fossil fuel). The destruction of the environment will result in the creation and spreading of increasingly dangerous pathogens. My dad and step-mom are always going on about how they want to stop global warming but refuse to even reduce the amount of meat they consume let alone go full vegetarian or vegan. People are such slaves to their taste buds, they are willing to risk death at the individual level (heart disease) or throughout society (pandemics) just because they think animals are delicious.
