vechz davion I wondered about that, too, when I was older and rewatched this movie. A disease that liquifies pretty much all your internal organs in only three days, and monkey antibodies are supposed to reverse that level of mass-cellular decay? Forget a full restore; you’d need a full revive!

Jim Tamim Psychology in Seattle does awesome reviews to, where he really explains what may be going on between people in a relationship, in a very good way. (He’s name is dr Kirk Honda.) Sicknotes and Psychology in Seattle are the best shows in these genres, in my opinion.

[@buzbom1]

Yet you just described a commentary. Reactions can be silent with dramatic physical movements and short outbursts. If I want to see someone stop and talk, or worse....talk all over the movie's dialog, I'll watch the dvd's special end commentary part. This is a doctors commentary, and I don't mind it. If he were a normal person non doctor like myself I certainly wouldn't keep talking to the camera or talk out loud missing all the important dialog. Reaction and commentary are to whole different things in my op. If you are watching a movie alone in your home, are you talking to yourself constantly? I want to watch normy folks watch a film/show like I was watching alone or with a special someone. And you know the rudest thing is to keep blabbing while someone is trying to hear the dialog. But anywho......just my 50+ yr life's experiences talking. Love his......commentary analysis reactions. There...a compromise lol. PEACE and good health to all. ✌😎👍

In the 90's, I read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston, which was a primary inspiration for this movie. The book documented several Ebola outbreaks around the world since the 60s. Later, in 2014, as a member of the U.S. Military, I volunteered to deploy to West Africa to help with the Ebola crisis. The book and the real world setting were both chilling in different ways, and I've learned to massively respect diseases and contagions as a result.

From the book: "[the] microbe contains chemical elements required for terrestrial life and appears to have a crystalline structure, but lacks the DNA, RNA, proteins, and amino acids present in all forms of terrestrial life". It is far, far smaller and simpler than ANY bacterium, as all bacteria have cell walls and contain DNA and other organelles.

"Flying around in helecopters chasing a monkey is RE-DIC-U-LOUS" The best summary of the American healthcare system.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Outbreak is an extremely blunt movie, with well-defined heroes and villains. Outbreak, in that, offers the easy assurances that any such action film will. It creates a universe in which right and wrong are both extremely-cartoonishly-legible. Its dramas are, often literally, explosive. That makes for good entertainment; it also, as it happens, makes for extremely poor insight into the current pandemic.

[@Clay3613]

Well Ebola-like viruses are way more lethal than Covid. If we had that outbreak right now, you can be assured extreme measures would be taken to prevent the spread.

[@CTimmerman]

@@Clay3613 I think studying antibodies and adapting ZMAPP is quite reasonable, unlike nuking every place that's infected.

[@psymcdad8151]

@@Clay3613 Ebola would run out fo people to munch on prety fast. While Covid is a lot less lethal than Ebola, its ability to spread rapidly over large areas puts it in a position where it killed more people in about 7 month than Ebola did in the last 50 years combined ( ~16.000 since 1973 vs. allmost 800.000 in 2020 alone, with a very decent chance that it will crack the million before the end of the year.) So, I doubt that the measures taken would differ drasticaly; Isolate, support the sick, suppres the spread, wait what happens (and hope it runs out... or find a Vaccine/cure. Whatever happens first). TL;DR: For the individual, Ebola is very bad news. For a Society, Covid is worse news.

Your reaction to this was pretty great, I loved this when it came out, I read the Hot Zone in elementary school (I was a weird kid). I think Ebola was a kinda "hot" and exciting new scary thing in the 90's, I remember it was everywhere in our consciousness for a minute.

[@misstary13]

“Don’t let him take his mask off!” I think it should’ve been, “Get him out of here now!!” Surely they would’ve had a designated safe zone or vehicle to go to in case of this reaction, or to decontaminate and store the suits when not in use. Am i wrong?

[@almondmagnum8604]

Yes, and why isn't anybody saying anything about the dude entering the room with no protection whatsoever?

[@leechowning2712]

With a 100% fatality rate, and no vaccine? You would need to place a serious military decontamination post. Basically the same as we would place for an Alpha particle radiation issue. You would be looking at no less than 2 minutes of decontamination. In this case, the rule is throw up in your suit and clean up afterwards. They honestly didn't take any of the precautions I would expect to see here, the first of which would be a plastic tent built over the hut. In the case that virus, which attacks the blood, it wouldn't normally be airborne. The Sars C 2 ,as a virus which attacks the lungs, will be airborne almost from day one... Which is why early on masks should have been worn... And the FDA/CDC decision to 'prioritize' masks for medical staff by saying "most people do not need it" honestly did more harm. I am just glad that even among the highest risk groups the fatality rate is only in the 20-30% range. If the general population fatality rate was closer to that of ebola we would have lost hundreds of thousands of people by this point.

Your vlogs were very informative and interesting (and humanised a lot of the current pandemic which was hard to see despite of the social media hurricane around), but I'm glad to see you back reviewing movies again, where you're looking a bit more relaxed than you have been. As for movie recommendations, I've seen Resident Evil, Dawn of the Dead and Contagion mentioned. World War Z, the Cabin Fever series, The Beach House (2019) come to mind. Personally, I would love if you could look into the Blade movies, as they describe vampirism as a blood disease and have a surprising number of scenes involving medical procedures.

There were several pop sci books about Ebola published in the run up to the movie entering production. The Reston outbreak formed the central part of The Hot Zone by Robert Preston, which is the book that sticks in my memory.

Warning for vomit: When the guy was panicking in his suit around 8:00 it looked to me like he had a gag/vomit response to what he saw. I wonder if the instinct would be to take the helmet off if you were going to vomit, so you didn't vomit into the suit and maybe inhale it if the vomit was stuck up near your face.

[@assyayakhnina9534]

Just to clarify things a little bit, getting antibodies from a llama is not the same thing as getting liters of anti-serum from a single monkey. The idea is that llamas (and the rest of camelids) have a somewhat simplified structure of the antibodies. This makes it possible to express their antibodies as recombinant proteins in bacteria or yeast (as nanobodies) and systematically screen millions of variants to find ones that might be specific to whatever antigen your are dealing with (in this case, I assume, SARS-CoV2 surface proteins). The major advantage is that due to the recombinant nature of the nanobodies, it would then be much easier to ramp up production.

[@maychorian]

Glad to see you back, Dr. Hope! I'm glad things are cooling down for you. I'd love to see you react to The Andromeda Strain (1971), if you haven't already. That's one I remember watching with my dad (a big sci fi fan) when I was a kid.

Vaccine from a monkey in two hours! Frankly, I thought this was how they could do it. I had no knowledge to suggest to me that you can't do that with an animal to help humans, so I went straight to romanticizing the capability of today's (America's?) medical field. But, everything I've learned from John Campbell about antibodies immediately activated my skepticism revisiting this movie.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

I took the monkey's antibodies at face value when I was younger watching this movie. But now I know it is far far more complex. Make sense because we would otherwise have solved most diseases.

Is HIV seriously still a BSL 3 pathogen?

I love this movie and that you go into so much detail! Those suits are similar to the hazmat suits or "MOPP" gear that I had to wear in the military. It's designed to protect against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear exposure. It's very hot, limited vision and annoying to wear for long periods of time. The military gas mask even has a tube that plugs into our canteens so we could drink water safely. In Kuwait, when we were concerned about Saddam launching chemical weapons, everyone in my unit spent so much time wearing the Mopp suit that we all just took off our uniforms underneath and just wore the suit because it was so hot in the desert lol.
