The problem with people is that they don't care about hygiene, which is a huge, huge factor in disease control. During this pandemic people were STILL putting their mouths on water fountains at my local markets, forcing the staff to make the fountains unusable and off limits. Going into the bathrooms, plenty of people still don't wash their hands and go about with urine soaked fingers like it's normal.

[@patricksheehan43]

A lot of people dont both to take anything seriously when it comes to controlling spread either. I see tons of people in random locations going about their days like normal and not following the 6 foot social distancing. Hell before the beaches closed hundreds of people were going out for spring break getting wasted and partying. The human race is at this point just doomed to die off to some kind of disease at some point. We as a species just dont care enough to put in an effort to survive.

@Patrick Sheehan arguably it's because diseases are too abstract for people's survival instincts to kick in, unless there's visibly horrifically diseased bodies lumbering about the concept just is not going to trigger the same response as say a dangerous wild animal showing aggression towards them. If I'm remembering correctly there's actually a few cases of this being shown with for example certain native African tribes/civilisations had no fear of the British military's firearms and charged even when people were dropping dead around them but the moment the Brits fixed bayonets is when they started to panic. Modern example would be the British troops in Afghanistan making a last stand fixing bayonets and charging out of cover after a heated skirmish with a bunch of terrorists ended up with them running out of ammo, the enemies surrendered well before they had six inch steel in their guts because that's a far more visible danger than the abstract thought of suddenly being killed by a bullet they can't even see.

[@dsandoval9396]

People not washing their hands at store bathrooms, especially groceries, fucking disgusts me so bad. This was before COVID-19. But seeing that shit amazes me how dirty people can be. In a related issue, this is also why when buying groceries I get the items below/behind the front facing products. Not really guaranteed to be any cleaner but it helps, also when I get home I clean the product appropriately before using it or placing it in the pantry/fridge.

For example, the incubation period of the flu is usually around 3 to 5 days after initial infection, ad for rabies its 6 weeks to 4 months! One of the biggest problems with covid is that it has a long incubation period (so its hard to suspect that you might have it) and, like you said, it is contagious even before the incubation period ends.

I saw this movie in Biology class a few years ago.

Except the disease in the movie is actually levels of civilization destruction type stuff. The Rona could have been a whole lot worse, we should feel VERY lucky.

Very fitting given what we’re going through at the moment. Thanks for the good timing on this one. :D

This is the only movie the teacher of my nursing class let us watch in highschool because she said it was exaggerated but incredibly accurate to what would happen

[@marcopina2659]

[@Cissablack708]

Truly an amazing movie, as well as a sobering one. Being immunocompromised as well as having several chronic illnesses going out and coming into contact with those who are still not taking this pandemic seriously would be a death sentence. Not metaphorically speaking, not an exaggeration but truly; it would not be a question of if I would die but a question of when. I've been on complete lock down for almost 2 months now. A strict no in or out, my husband has been locked down with me just as long, he had to request permission for it otherwise we wouldn't be able to stay in the same home if he had to go out every day. It's truly frustrating to see so many people in the world and especially in the United states who are refusing to take this situation seriously. I had to go out once in these 2 months because a neccessary medication I take could not be picked up by anyone other then myself with an ID required(which we're trying to circumvent the need for me to pick it up and have permission for my husband to pick it up for me) and I had a woman who was coughing and sneezing with out covering her mouth or taking any kind of precautions standing an inch if that behind me. I had a full blown panic attack and begged her to move back and give me space. She got very angry, scoffed at me and then begin yelling in my face about being a sheep, stupid, overreacting, calling it a hoax and brought up trump. I panicked and ran out without even getting my meds. Started whipeing everything down with Clorox wipes, put the clothes I was wearing straight into the washing machine and took a shower right after. I was terrified, still am of getting sick and dying all because one woman decided that her personal beliefs are more important then my whole life.

[@Cissablack708]

@心静渊智 the only problem with that is that the medication is a type which I have to pick it up in person and show a valid government ID in order for them to give it to me.

[@Cissablack708]

@心静渊智 that's what I'm trying to do now, it's been incredibly difficult. It's a medication that has both pain relief as well as a medication to coat my esophagus and stomach to make it less painful for me to eat and keep my esophagus from constricting. So I guess I'll loose weight and live on medical grade protein shakes for as long as I can. We're trying to see if we can find a way to circumvent the rule of which I have to pick it up and be able to have my husband having permission to do it for me.

Ok everyone notice that everything started with a bat both in the movie and real life?

[@Cwhirt910]

Except that's not true, the bat soup isn't even confirmed.

[@bmortloff]

@@Cwhirt910 Bats are hosts for coronavirus, and vectors for animal to animal transmission. They're likely the source, just not directly from being in soup.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

@@Cwhirt910 the issue wasn't the bat soup but the fact that a virus did a jump between bats and pangolins before arriving at humans.

Niyat is always name dropping Dog Soldiers when he talks about Neil Marshall, so only a matter of time, stakeland is just a favorite cult classic I'd like to see covered

[@johnnyryan91]

I recently watched Train to Busan and I thought for sure you had a video about the virus. I study epidemiology and love the dissection you give on fictional viruses!

[@juniwilliams]

The thematic music really builds tension in so many scenes

[@kenziekodex1883]

I remember watching this late last year and thinking that it was terrifyingly accurate, and now seeing 2020 this film just feels even more real

[@Cwhirt910]

It's accurate because they did their home work when the H1N1 virus was spreading, they were able to get first hand notes from the CDC and WHO after that.

[@peterburton3095]

This movie is predictive programming. The reason covid is so similar is because the plandemic is also going to a script. Covid has NEVER been proven to be real. This is biblical prophecy playing out.

[@Btk4813]

Glad to hear your doing better.

[@DannyWilliamH]

The funniest part of the movie is how the movie gets so much right as far as a viral pandemic, govt reactions, public reactions, etc Yet, the experts of the movie literally gather in mass-infection areas with zero protection until the end. Like, Kate Winslet is walking around explaining basic germ theory to the Minnesota bumpkins, begging them to stop touching their faces and such...but then meets with several infected and adjacent people without a mask. Now, before you think this is some anti-mask post and begin cheering for me know that she dies and you should wear mask, IRL. Anyway, just found that funny. That and the fact that the entire planet seems to go from handling it well to mass riots in the matter of seconds. Calm and collected to absolute chaos in one second, everywhere lmao. Also, the one thing the movie couldn't have predicted is that the Jude Law character would literally be The President when the next actual viral pandemic happened. It's eerie and uncanny how accurate that part was...and it's just DJT.

[@Johnnycpublic]

Never noticed that haha. She would be the first one to put on a mask but yet doesn't.

[@DannyWilliamH]

@@Johnnycpublic Yeah, when I pointed this out to someone they made a joke that I think is actually the most likely scenario: Some studio paid a ton of money to get a bunch of star actors in their multi-million dollar movie. I'm sure none of the studio heads were thrilled about filming the movie with those star faces covered by masks, lol. So I wouldn't be surprised if they were supposed to but some executive was like "yeah, no. Why give them $10 Million to cover their dang faces!?"

[@Johnnycpublic]

@@DannyWilliamH I mean cover their face for like 2 scenes. Not the whole film.
