Without personal experience, it is difficult to get this feeling

During the Spring Festival of 2020, the whole city was closed due to the spread of the Wuhan virus. I watched this movie at home. The film gave me the feeling that it predicted a lot of the details of the Wuhan virus outbreak.

First of all, both are transmitted through bats. The only difference is that in the movie, humans destroy the environment of bats, resulting in contact between bats and pigs, which in turn transmits the virus to humans; the Wuhan virus is caused by eating game and will never have an intersection. animals were cross-infected.

Secondly, there are cases of eating human blood steamed buns. In the movie, the reporter played by Jude Law deceived the public that forsythia has a therapeutic effect, and made a lot of money, and was finally released on bail from punishment; in the Wuhan virus incident, it was to drive up the price of masks and daily necessities.

Third, during the initial golden control time of the outbreak, there were bureaucrats who concealed and did not report. This is the case with colleagues all over the world, and I am not the only one in Qing Dynasty who has this national condition.

Finally, there is the brilliance of idealism. In the movie, a doctor of virology risked his death to investigate, and finally gave his clothes to other patients when he was dying; we have experts from the SARS period, active military veterans, and volunteers in medical and other fields who ventured into Wuhan.

A good movie can always resonate. At this special moment, I hope more Chinese audiences can see this movie.

Contagion quotes

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: You know where this comes from, shaking hands? It was a way of showing a stranger you weren't carrying a weapon in the old days. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm.

  • Dr. Ellis Cheever: But right now, our best defense has been social distancing. No hand-shaking, staying home when you're sick washing your hands frequently.
