Contagion
I watched this film on Netflix last night ,
And was shocked at the similarities of the film and the reality of what is happening in the real world today , every body should be made to watch it , to bring home the stark truth

Every science fiction book or movie about a virus or disease getting out of control will have similarities to today's situation. The authors don't tend to make everything up.

It's actually a pretty serious movie, made after the SARS outbreak with input from alot of the experts involved in it |

Most people know the stark truth. We’re facing it and living through it everyday. We’re thinking about our families, our jobs and our futures.
Some may choose to ignore or stretch the boundaries. Even so, they know the stark truth also.
Whilst you may be seeing more people than you like out, the government figures show, as has been said in the briefing ‘the British public are complying’. |

I remember Vincent Price in The Last Man on Earth and later The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. 1965's The Satan Bug is worth a view.Very poignant films.
Star Trek did an episode where only children survived a contagion on a remote earthlike planet.
Lessons to be learn't |
