Coronavirus has officially been declared a pandemic by WHO and has infected 1,25,518 people worldwide. With the rise of infection and 3.4% mortality rate, people around the world are fearing the worst. Amidst this mass hysteria, Twitter decided to bring up the 2011 film which might have predicted this contagious virus.
Contagion staring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Gwyneth Paltrow follows the story of a young mother who gets infected with a virus that begins to spread like wildfire.
Finally watched Steven Soderbergh’s CONTAGION (2011), a movie that feels even more relevant and timely now than when it was released. Shows methodical exploration of the threat of viral epidemic. Such an effective, well-made & scary medical thriller. pic.twitter.com/rLnDhMoO5K

Rewatched ‘Contagion’ (2011) the other night. I remember it being spooky when I first watched it in theaters, but that shit plays out like a horror movie now. Way too accurate pic.twitter.com/VWaRW0nGlj

Yes, we’re all a bunch of dorks who obsess over a 20-year-old show, but we knew one day a contagion would come. pic.twitter.com/anWKBQzimq

In sci-fi/horror, the continuum is basically from “Contagion” to “Outbreak” to “The Purge” to “The Road.”

We’re at “Contagion” — we need to all do our part to prevent us from moving further down the continuum.
If you haven’t watched the film yet, watch the trailer here:
