This video was largely inspired by real world acts of compassion and solidarity. Whereas I've seen the internet mostly focus on the few people fighting over toilet paper and hording groceries, over the past few weeks, I've also seen healthcare workers being applauded as they headed off to work, people who offered to buy groceries for those who are more vulnerable than they are, who checked on their elderly neighbors who might have gotten lonely. I've seen people dedicate songs and poems to each other, and start all kinds of local, regional, and national initiatives to offer support to suffering individuals, families, and local businesses. As one of our ministers stated today; we may have to keep our distance, but we're closer than ever. In what ways have people in your community come together? Showed kindness? Offered support? Let us know below and help each other trough these troubled times!
The only connection I can fathom is That movies have become so intertwined with real life it is hard to tell the difference. It's like the fourth wall has been shattered forever . in quarantine the media sustaining us, Truly reality is stranger things fiction
My property manager called me, not about April's rent, but just to ask if I was ok and if I needed anything, like food. He was calling all of the residents to double-check on us.
We all live in a low-income affordable housing project. We're the vulnerable - the hourly workers, the elderly, the disabled. I started crying, to hear him not harping about the rent, but instead to offer a hand in kindness.
Goodness still shines bright.
I've been checking up on friends and family, my mom is extremely worried and calling up on her faith in god, watching a lot of ridiculous videos on here. Which I'm trying to calm her down and tell her that everything is going to be okay. It's not healthy to worry about everything and that the world is going to okay.
On March the 12th of 2020 when WHO Declared COVID-19 a Global Pandemic. I first thought to myself "This must be more Serious than I actually thought it to be... "
In the following Days after WHO's advisory, and as the Pandemic unfolded, I recalled an earlier video you published on Chenobyl and How the World became a Risk Society.
This video echoes a similar perspective on Catastrophe in the Modern Age - Modernity as the video on Chenobyl. Thank you for both Videos.
Donating blood in a few days.
I still remember how one of the main criticism on this movie was how unrealistic it was for portraying human beings as stupid and selfish. Well, it turns out humans in real life are much worse than how they are portrayed in the movie.
animals, fighting over toilet paper like neanderthals
@@MsDesiree39
I always knew to stock up on non perishable food, water, batteries, e.t.c
But I never knew toilet paper would be a commodity during a pandemic...
@@Menaceblue3 impossible to predict...lol....i coudnt believe it
I don't what you are talking about. Most of us are fine and follow quarantine. There are some people that don't.
@Night shade fr
This movie deserves to be remade into a miniseries. There's so much more that can be explored socially, economically and politically.
Instead, the Soderbergh movie that has a series is "Girlfriend Experience"! lol
There is one, known as "The Last Ship". I think it was great in presenting the post-apocalyptic world, the politics of it at personal and global level, the economics of it and all things connected. First season was great. It almost covered all aspects of a pandemic as Corona but slightly more deadly.
A series about the Spanish Flu in the same vein as "Chernobyl" would be incredible. It would show how far we have come with science and medicine, but how little we've progressed as a society.
I don't need them miniseries.. I just click on the news stations fr different countries & tadaa.. Same shite
Marcus Chang I don’t think a mini series is needed. We’re seeing it right before our eyes.
"A decisive virus, and a hesitant government" hell of a line, and great vid
And I thought Social Distancing was New Lingo😥
@Tom Guadalupe Don't worry, by the 2nd wave, Trump and Moscow Mitch will have us there!
This is not a film its an documentary from 2030. Everything shown in the film has already happened in one way or another. The only thing missing is the concentration camps for the survivors.
@@niroshanperera6323 gramps the doctor told me you needed to refill those meds again
Imagine the magnitude of disappointment we will collectively bear after this pandemic passes and the system returns to it's previous ways.
I feel ya there man, if things don't change after this I think i'll have to move myself and my family out of the US, this country and a large part of the population have taken a distressing turn for the worse these last few years and it's not just trump either, he is a symptom of a far larger problem with this country. Don't get me wrong I love my country but if we continue down this path I worry about it's future.
This changes everything, no going back now
Worse, many governments will not let go of their new powers.
@@FilosSofoI don't hope so, but I that's what I fear!
@@chadatchison145 So glad I got out 9 years ago. I thought UK wasn't handling it well, then I saw the US....
The doctor dying reminds me of all those italian doctors who have died so far due to the lack of protection gear. So sad.
Sad part is people call this virus false
You have to just ignore those idiots... Those are the same people that every big event is some huge conspiracy.
MAAD TEE yea trump supporters
Anthony Hutchins they are called trump supporters
NO Italian doctors died, NOT ONE WAKE UP
"...we just need to make sure that no one knows. Until _everyone_ knows..."
I'd bet you a buffalo nickel a bureaucrat said this before COVID-19 took off and never even saw this movie.
Basically what happened when some politicians dumped their stocks before the market took a shit.
I think most of them were partaking insider trading to get ahead of the masses.
Yep and that s why Li Wenliang was "reprimanded for spreading rumours”
COVID- *19*
it was discovered back in 2019, and we're suffering it now
@@briansinger5258 Yes, absolutely. From Bloomberg to Pelosi. And now they've passed an unlimited Quantitative Easing plan which will enable them to perpetually float their stocks and avoid losses. They just need to introduce enough volatility to con the common man of his investments, but not theirs.
The first to pull your money out.
Fear is a helluva weapon
When I first watched this movie I was always so pissed at the daughter for giving her dad shit in a viral outbreak just because she can’t go to prom, but now when I’m placed in the situation myself I realized what a huge hypocrite I am. I wish I had spring and summer. I miss my friends and I’ve never felt so sick of being by myself.
It was June 2012, and I was like 15 years old, and I was preparing my high school bio exam in Shanghai. I've watched this movie days before the exam to get some 'inspiration'. 8 years later it came to me directly in my mind after the outbreak in Wuhan as it shared 80% of similarity. The movie was so underrated.
That movie shows what angers me the most at the moment. We count numbers. 50 dead, 1000 dead, so many infected. We create sensational clickbait articles and videos. But nobody talks about the humans behind these numbers.
The families who suffer. You hear, it only kills old people. But, what is with your parents, grandparents, neighbors.
Great video. Wonderfully hopeful note at the end. Thx.
Whenever we can quote Josef Stalin, is not a good situation to be in. Man I hope it won't rebound after May/summer.
Sadly, this is nothing new. When HIV/AIDS started wrecking havoc in the late 70's/early 80's, those in power dismissed the whole thing as merely a "blessing in disguise that was purging unwanted elements from society" (to put it lightly), as if those people weren't human beings to begin with. By the time they realized anybody could get the virus regardless of lifestyle preferences, it was already too late.
When there are 65000 dead, how can anyone talk about any specific person who has suffered. What makes one person's grief greater than the other's. In this war, we are not individuals fighting for our ourselves, we are humans fighting to save all of us. All of us are together in this and will be remembered as such. The people lost in this cause will be given mass memorials for their sacrifice to humanity as a whole.
Let’s all try to be mindful of this and take a moment to think about those who are suffering from this and no take them Or the people close to us for granted .
@@jordel2010 CDC was underfunded then, and now. Tragic.
Thanks for using your platform to recall people to their humanity. Here's hoping you're a trendsetter. Be safe.

One of the most eloquently expressed video essays reflecting on the nature of humanity during a pandemic, of which is best aptly said by the video's narrator.
---
"By zooming in on a multitude of individuals stories, Contagion, more than anything, shows us the humanity of a global pandemic. It shows how the institutions that so often seem formal and impersonal, that seemed to have failed us, are also just made up of people, most of whom are struggling to know and do what is right, who too are scared., who too are flawed and act selfishly.
It shows how experts struggle not because they are incompetent, but because they too are facing an unprecedented event, for which they have to figure out what protocols need to be enforced, and which have to be broken. All the while navigating a variety of political games, bureaucratic constraints, and other outside interests.
---
It shows how people accept misinformation not because they are ignorant or unintelligent, but because they are desperate, and frightened, and yearn for some security in uncertain times. It shows how people can turn to violence not because they are vicious or greedy but because they feel they have no other choice to protect those they care about. And, perhaps above all, it reminds that every fatality is just not a number added to the total count of a statistic, its the loss of a human life. It's a family in grief. And that a prolonged quarantine isn't just a strategic course of action, its also a loss of time that is never given back.
---
But as we see how the scientists create a vaccine, and the world slowly refinds its balance, the film also provides us with a shimmer of hope. And this I believe, might be the real reason that Contagion is so popular in times like these. For besides reflecting on the trauma of we're experiencing today, it also shows how cataclysmic events are not just about society falling apart, they are also about mankind coming together. For while a global pandemic reveals the fragility of modern society, and the structural flaws in our system, it also reveals the resilience of the human spirit.
---
It shows that when things ultimately return to normal, and they will, its not just because the virus has run its course. It will be because of those individuals who, through hard work and sacrifice, stood bravely against not only the danger of a deadly virus, but also against the dangers of fear, uncertainty and chaos, who faced an uphill, unfair battle, and fought it anyways, driven only by the faith that their effort will not be in vain, who did their best under circumstances in which no one can really know what the right course of action is. Its in these acts of selflessness, perseverance and solidarity to each other, whether they be in the grand effort to save humanity, or in the small acts to simply maintain it, that we find a source of strength stronger than any threat that seeks to defy it.
🙏🙏
Thanks ! I was going to go back and copy the words. So uplifting!
Folding Ideas video on Contagion is really fantastic as well.
We need to be prepared that there may never be a vaccine.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. - Jiddu K.
The pope said it too recently. "We had thought that we could remain healthy in a sick world."
@Michael Freed Thank you for that link! 😊
Michael Freed It may have to do with doubt. Fear. Changing one’s beliefs sounds easy, but it must actually put huge cognitive strain on the brain. Enormous amounts of energy and time must be spent to acquire new beliefs as well as to let go of the old.Thats my theory anyway.
Perhaps they are intellectually convinced of something, but they have no heart for it.
and the other way around too.
One feels something in his heart, but has little knowledge of it.

Took the words right out of my mouth

"...so that he should not be one of those who hold their peace but should bear witness in favor of those plague-stricken people; so that some memorial of the injustice and outrage done them might endure; and to state quite simply what we learn in a time of pestilence: that there are more things to admire in men than to despise." - Albert Camus, The Plague
Phew...your ending had me in tears. Hopeful as always. Thank you.
i saw this movie long ago..when WHO declared covid19 as a pandemic I immediately thought of this movie and get my friends and family to watch it
Great movie imo. I think what the film does really well is show how dirty surfaces are. Particular example is the scene in the cafeteria in the beginning of the film.
"It's figuring us out faster than we're figuring it out"
"It doesn't have anything else to do"
Thank you so much for lending us a sense of calmness and hope in time of unspeakable chaos. This makes me want to go back and re-watch the movie again after all these years. I have tried not to put my hand on the movie since the current outbreak for fear that it's too real and so tragic. Yet, you give me such a good reason to get back and revisit the master piece again.
I re-watched it in early February, when it was mostly still unfolding in China. I was paying attention to the scary parts like it was some kind of playbook - the numbers, the fatality rates (thank God Covid-19 illness isn't like Contagion's MEV-1), the quarantine efforts, the mass panic. I understand why you wouldn't want to watch it now.
But his analysis makes me want to re-watch it for the humanity - all those kindnesses and sacrifices. That is just as real and powerful, and is happening on a greater scale now than was shown in the movie. I'm clinging to that as a way to combat my fear of this all. We're all scared together. We can all be kind together.
“Unspeakable chaos”? You could say that if your country was at war, your house destroyed and your kids killed, like in Syria. If you are in the West, working from home, it is a vast exaggeration. 😅
I saw this film in school. Was surprised that they had the balls to kill the kid.
I enjoyed this movie for how gritty it is. The doctor getting sick and dying was a great touch. Sadlt very accurate to reality today.
Moonwatch Lunar and they show his face. Such a dark scene
Not only that, but the way Matt Damon just put him in a trash can, poured gas on him and torched him.
That’s the way to show you that nobody’s safe and that the virus makes no discrimination in who it kills.
@@DJSbros yea I thought she was going to be the hero but she wants dr Fauci i mean morpheus was the hero
Im telling people since January to watch this movie lol
I was telling my classmates about this in January and alot of them spent the opportunity to say I was delusional.
Soon we'll be watching this movie daily...
Through our windows :3
JANUARY!!! I hear u say....well I was telling people since December 31st
@callmecatalyst yeah probably.
@callmecatalyst Dude, really?
This, like all your video essays of old, is profound and beautiful and I find myself in a state of tranquility and contentment every time I watch one. Personally, I have made an effort to call those that I love who live alone and may feel more lonely than me. I have seen people perform small concerts with whatever instrument they have at home across rooftops. I’ve seen stores take precautionary measures and find ways to keep their business afloat. I’ve seen content creators like yourself whose audience goes to them for a sense of contentment and joy during gray days use their voices to send hope and warmth to the millions despite their circumstances; whether it be a few words of hope, a livestream raising money for COVID-19 charities, or a funny video. On a similar note relating to your comment, LSOO, I think it’s oddly ironic and reassuring to know that despite recent years on the internet being filled with chaotic information and isolation, it seems that real world isolation had turned the internet to a source of support and action.
Whenever I'm in a disastrous scenario in my head, I always thank the compassionate and dedicated souls that take it upon themselves to help despite the crazy odds and others losing their shit... even if its my head, I know these people exist and always aspire to also be one.
Contagion was a totally inaccurate movie. It didn't capture how poorly major governments could mishandle pandemics!
I respectfully disagree. I have watched almost every scene from this movie play out in real life. They may have missed a few time-specific details, but overall they were seriously on-point.
As someone who lives in a country whose government can't make heads or tails of anything about the current pandemic, your comment is spot on.
@@TheLisa-Al-Gaib Whoosh
Watch Obama talk about Ebola.
@@Judas3rd well sorry my friend, but it's Trump's turn now. And what he wants is what we'll get whether we like it or not! Why? Because he is the President voted by the people. Deal with it! And until he make sense of things or be REMOVED from office, there's really nothing you can do.
I recently saw an interview with one of the producers of this film and they said that the major thing they got wrong was that they assumed a competent government response .
We're lucky it was only 2% death rate.
*Contagion:* _Finally, we are living in a society right now._

Haha Monsters Inc.
"It Is In My Professional Opinion That Now Is The Time To PA-NIC"!!! LoL
I -understood- LOLd at that reference
I was hoping you'd do something on this topic. :)
well what a cohencidence there is a movie who predicted all this, or event 201, it's almost as if someone even planned it, but that's probably just a conspiracy theory, or is it?
Big difference with this movie and our current real world situation is that the MEV-1 virus in the movie is hundreds times more deadly than COVID-19 (luckily COVID-19 isn't even nearly as lethal)
Still a haunting movie to watch.
Not quite hundreds, but about ten times
AM covid ain’t even close to that deadly. Over 70 percent are asymptotic
When I watched contagion I didn’t realize that health organizations actually came to hotspots in person like in the movie. Then the CDC came to my city because we have the biggest hotspot in the country. Welp.
I thought this movie was unsettling enough when there WASN'T a global pandemic going on in real life
Glad people finally appreciate the horror contagion portrays. To me, that’s REAL horror.
This is not a film its an documentary from 2030. Everything shown in the film has already happened in one way or another. The only thing missing is the concentration camps for the survivors.
ITALY IS POWERFUL

Love from Italy, stay safe People, we'll make It trought
Beautifully written and edited as always! I really appreciate your style of analysis.
I have embraced LOCKDOWN and don't want the world to go back to "normal" to me a change in humanity would be a good thing as the way people have helped at distance and showed compassion to others has been Touching I hope people learn from This and I hope we can come out of this better human beings xx
Me after finishing Doom Eternal: DAMN this game is BADASS I feel so pumped and full of testosterone and NOTHING will make me cry again!
LSOO: (clicks upload video)
Spectacular work as always. In these trying times let us all remember we’re in this together, and we need one another more than we think. Be helpful and kind to those around you.
Like physicians and biologists have been saying for centuries - it was always only a matter of when; and that when was never going to be very far away.
like all of your amazing essays, this was simply beautiful! you really put into words what makes this movie very unique from most "pandemic" films, there is such a subtleness and complexity to contagion not to mention it feels surreal watching it in 2020. ty for taking the time to make this
This movie got so much right that it's frightening. Kudos to the narrator of this video for the thoughtful and insightful analysis of not only Contagion the movie but of our current reality.
I am currently working as a Domino's Delivery Expert. According to the State of Texas I am considered an Essential Infrastructure Worker. In all honesty, I feel like it could either be fate or pure luck that I'm still alive. I don't really consider myself a frontline worker. That's all the medical practitioners and service workers treating the ill. If anything I'm more like one of the pilots from the Berlin Airlift. I'm not technically in a war but if I can keep people from going outside for food that might be enough. People think I'm stupid or fearless to keep driving during these times. Afterall, I have to be to deliver pizzas during a pandemic, right? Well in earnest, I'm just almost wetting myself. At one point I yelled at a kid to keep the door closed as I set food down on a chair. But after a while I figured out a way to do my job. Rather than act like everyone is contagious and out to get me, I instead internalize that I might be the one with the Virus, and have to keep others from catching it. It's the only way for me to stay calm and helps me be kinder and braver than I really am. And that should be our approach. Be kind and donate to your local food banks. Donate to hospitals to purchase more PPE, or make some for yourself and the medics on the front lines. Stay at home if you can, and wash your hands. Use delivery options if available. We may not come out of this the same way we got in...but we may come out stronger. And remember anytime you get up in the morning, say these nine words:
"I am alive and I still have my humanity."
Stay safe. You are doing important work.
What is a delivery expert?
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 fancy word for delivery driver
A virus can't see race, sex, religion, nations and borders. It only sees people. To think of all the deaths that have occurred over such a trivial cause as two animals in the wrong place at the wrong time frightens me. We have to rely on our common human spirit to get through this. The thing we can take away from this is that politics, economics, education and military strength is all a part, and not separate from the human experience. Stay safe everyone! Love from Australia
Pedro Deeg a virus only "sees" hosts.
This was an extremely special and unique upload!
This movie is very good example of predictive programming in media
Yea real life Psyop , the deep State failing Corona is weak
@Harvey Dustin Sure. Tell this to the doctors who are dropping like flies.
@Harvey Dustin The vast majority of people who are going to die from this are still alive as of now, as it can take weeks for one's condition to deteriorate to the point of being fatal.
@@dieselhound84 predictive programming at its finest, this movie came out 1 year after Project Lock Step was created, lock step was a simulation by the Rockefeller foundation in which a global pandemic would lead to autocratic or a one world type of government with total surveillance and control over the citizens(id2020), most people dont realize that this is not just about the virus, this is an attempt to change and takeover the entire world

Beautiful artistry how you tied the commercials into the story in such an elegant way. Brilliant.
Excellent video as always, coming in a time when it's very much needed.
Very happy I found this channel a few months back. Thank you for the experience and insights along the way. I saw this movie when it came out and its been a favorite since then.
Incredible video. Once again, you made me think a lot and even cry a little. Thank you for these video essays... they are amazing.
Looking forward to The Fall. One of our favorite movies. Love Tarsem
Done it! :)
good on you for doing this one. i've always thought that was the best movie of its kind, and its hugely relevant today. well done.

Your analysis made me cry! It was Very touching. Thank you.
Love this channel and love closing your words on this
I was thinking earlier this week that it would be good to hear your take on this movie and the events we face.
Hey, how about a 28 days later LSOO?... While not as true to life as CONTAGION, it still has a very good homogenization of Horror, Isolation, Drama and Action thrown in for good measure, while not devolving into supernatural Zombie Shenanigans.
As always, I am grateful for your thoughtful essay. It is one of the reasons I am a Patreon supporter to your much-needed channel. I am glad I saw the essay before it was (briefly) taken down by a copyright claim. My hypothesis is that that TH-cam and perhaps Warner Brothers are hyper-sensitive to the probability that there are certain malevolent individuals who are using this opportunity to sew even more dischord and misinformation into an already troubled world, so they are reflexively taking the precaution of taking videos down to make sure more harm is not being spread.
Even if that were the case, I wish they could calibrate their process to flag content BEFORE it goes live, and in the case of ethical, reliable, and verified content-producers such as LSOO could get some privileged treatment or the benefit of the doubt.
For what it's worth, I am glad your essay is out in the world again. Stay safe and keep making the world a better place with your ideas.
Watching this film back in 2011, which I came out of thinking it was a damn GREAT film, never did I thought how it practically predicted the Global Pandemic that Mankind would soon face... yet, 9 years later, look where we are. Still a great film though! Brilliant analysis, man! :D
Another intelligent, thought-provoking video.
Thanks Tom.
As always, insightful and inspiring
well done
Based on the news and most of the comments here, I'm happy with how the government here in the Philippines are handling this. Granted, it's not a perfect system, nothing is, but I am happy that we are taking this seriously and decisively.
I wish things will fare better for everyone soon. Most governments may have been rattled and caught off guard by what's happening and what happened, but let's all hope that they are learning from being thrown at the deeper end of the water.

And I love all of your work as well. Since way back. The Fountain also a favorite and there's an incredible graphic novel companion to fill it out if you haven't read it
Great video! I keep thinking about Contagion, because those glimmers of hope keep me going. Thinking that a lot of someones, everywhere are doing their best to solve this problem and to help others.
P. S. I found this channel through Nebula and I'm really impressed with how good the content is. Chapeau 👏🏼!
P. P. S. Mijn Nederlandse vriend heeft binnen een minuut het accent herkent. Ik ben nog niet zo goed 🙈😅
I watched this in Grade 10, it’s shocking how realistic it is. I wish more Zombie/Apocalypse movies were like this. It’s interesting to watch how this disasters unfold.
Your storytelling with your video editing it's a masterpiece
Great work on producing this wonderfully inspiring & deeply though provoking presentation!
I can only hope we don't go back to "business as usual" when this pandemic is over. Humanity has an amazing opportunity to re-evaluate many aspects of our civilization & make some positive changes to benefit us all. Even in the worst of tragedies, there are always moments of awe-inspiring greatness that can change the world for the better.

Literally when I heard all about Covid-19 and what it was doing I remembered this film I couldn’t find it for a while and then I did and rewatched it and I’ve told all my friends and family about it because it is such a true representation of what can happen and how it can happen but also the act of human perseverance and that we can panic and loot or stay strong and resilient and have hope that things will get better......
I'm hoping that things will get better. Things can change.
A video that more people deserve to see it
Another excellent video, well done.
