I have seen the movie three times, I have seen it in 12 years, I have seen it last year, and I have seen it recently. The last time I saw it, I was heartbroken.
The film review has some spoilers, and it is strongly recommended to watch this pseudo-documentary and learn to watch it.
The definition of a disaster movie is - to allow people to sit at home and feel the ups and downs and thrills of a roller coaster, feel everything the movie subject feels, but without exposure to any danger.
From this perspective, this film should be classified as a pseudo-documentary rather than a disaster film, because now people sitting at home can feel the danger experienced by the people involved in the film when they feel the thrills.
Since it is a documentary, I will dry up and list some of the fur I have learned from watching the film.
What is R0, R0 is the basic infection number. During outbreaks, R0 is indeterminate and variable. The R0 of SARS is less than 1, the smallpox is close to 2, and the movie says 3 in order to make an effect. There are various theories about the R0 number of the new crown.
Minimize touching your face during an infectious disease outbreak. This advice is actually against human instinct. It is said in the movie that ordinary people touch their faces thousands of times a day.
In the face of unknown viruses, medical personnel are still very likely to be infected even if they are well protected. In addition to the respiratory department, which takes the lead, doctors in some other departments have a high probability of being infected by the virus because the protection is not strict enough in the first place. There is a scene in the movie where a doctor performing a craniotomy is splashed by a patient's body fluids on a medical mask, and instantly thinks of a doctor and nurse in a neurology department.
The virus in the movie is also contagious during the incubation period. The 2011 movie was made after SARS, which was not contagious during the incubation period.
It is mentioned in the movie that when there are not enough hospitals to effectively isolate them, using gymnasiums or similar venues to manage patients in a decentralized manner can confine a large number of viruses to one place instead of spreading them out. This approach is faster and can accommodate more patients.
During a disease outbreak, in addition to paying attention to people's physical health, they should also pay attention to people's mental health.
Shuanghuanglian News from Shanghai Institute of Medicine and Jude Law are a perfect fit: Forsythia, have you heard of Forsythia?
Why is it said that dissemination of false information in extraordinary times is very harmful? In the movie, when healthy people and suspected patients line up together to wait for Forsythia, it gives the chance of secondary infection of the bacteria; in any society, Forsythia or Shuanghuanglian are hyped When you get up, it will not be enough. The staff of the pharmacy is sitting on the powder keg. You don't know what people who can't buy or grab forsythia will do.
