Dr. Seema Yasmin, pandemic expert and former epidemic intelligence service officer, examines the 2011 film “Contagion” and compares the Hollywood feature to the current Covid-19 pandemic. The prescient film got a lot of things right, but plenty of the movie’s main points were pure fiction. Dr. Yasmin combs through the picture, offering her professional insights.…

Funny how I though about the conversation I had with my Math professor back in 2012 a few weeks ago . We a little chuckle about “Contagion”. Now here I am coming full circle with the movie.

I actually posit that the “Hollywood moment” of the investigator succumbing to the very virus she’s pursuing might be analogous to the Chinese doctor and whistleblower who first alerted Chinese officials of the virus, was subsequently silenced by his government, and succumbed to the virus himself in early February.

We have 6X the population of South Korea. So, of course it’s going to be much more difficult to contact trace.
How does this not cross her mind?
Boris Müller
May 6, 2020 at 11:50 pm
LEO. the USA is also geographically larger, and more spread out. Plus in Korea they were able to use phone messages to alert people.
However, Korea also committed more to contact tracing because they dealt badly with outbreaks in the past and there had been massive public outrage at the time.

I could definitely listen to her speak for hours. I appreciate her reviewing this movie because I saw this years ago and had a feeling that in my lifetime I’d see something like that happen. I liked the movie and still do even with the Hollywood BS. My father’s parents helped raise me in South Philadelphia and he was a WW I Marine Corps veteran who returned to become a Philadelphia police officer and was immediately thrust into the Spanish Flu epidemic. He survived WW I, the Great Depression, the Spanish Flu, then he re-enlisted in the Marine Corps when Pearl Harbor was attacked thus serving in WW II with all 5 of his brothers. I remember him saying that the world has a way of throwing off humans when it grows tired of being overpopulated. Every 100 years or so there is a pandemic and or wars that kill millions of people. He saw his fair share of those millions being killed.

When Contagion first came out, me and my cousin went to the movies. The theater wasn’t showing the movie we wanted to see, so we ended up watching Contagion. When I first heard about COVID-19 I couldn’t help but think about the similarities to the movie. It was interesting to see a professional break things down.

Of course America couldn’t do extensive contact tracing. It had to give $17,000,000,000 to Boeing (who said publicly they didn’t need a bailout).
Contact tracing would cost precious money which could be funneled to the wealth-class.

I could certainly appreciate that Hollywood is taking the creative license in making the movie for entertainment purposes. But as a layman, without taking the timeline of its transmission verbatim I think we could all agree that we could see the parallelism between the movie and reality. And that in itself could give us some kind of push to see the urgency how detailed the movie portray some of its elements.

Dr Carlo Urbani, an expert in parasitic infections, worked for the WHO Country office in Hanoi, Vietnam at the time the first SARS epidemic (2002-2003). For the sake of public health and safety, Dr Urbani spent several days at the hospital coordinating infection control, quarantine interventions and maintaining the morale of hospital staff. He lived up to his conviction that it is a doctor’s duty to “stay close to the victims”.
On 11 March 2003 during a flight to Bangkok to attend a conference, Dr Urbani developed symptoms of SARS. He died of complication related to SARS on 29 March 2003 – a public health hero. ( & )

I had it in late November, in Upstate NY. I have phone records to corroborate. It was so bad and took months to get over. I ended up in the hospital January 3 (ironically, the same day as US and South Korea reported first confirmed cases) for 3 days with chest pains that turned out to be inflammation in my chest cavity due to the “flu”. Felt like a heart attack, but my heart is in excellent condition, no HPB, diabetes, etc to blame.

Not even Hollywood could have conceived of a plot where the president completely undermines and sidelines the CDC. Making it absent and mostly ineffective during a pandemic. Then the same president touts a false cure that creates a massive demand and drives stock prices in a company that he holds investments. And the same president encourages instability, cheers on protests against governors and medical officials; and calls for the liberation of states. Reality is even wilder because of the Trump X factor.
You aRe wHat y0u think i am.
May 8, 2020 at 3:26 pm
The only difference is Gwyneth Paltrow cheated on Matt Damon before getting caught. And Matt Damon only cried at the end of the movie. Moral of the story is never cheat on your husband or wife and human can remain intellectually aware of society’s rules and don’t get emotion for the unloyal dead wife or husband but only in the last minute. 🙄

May 8, 2020 at 5:02 pm
I think the big differences with the movie and reality are in the film the president actually wanted to protect people, and they also didn’t have other phenomena taking place. They didn’t cover things like the food supply running out or the economy collapsing and people facing evictions etc. Other things we are dealing with in reality are parasitic insects like locusts in Africa and Murder Hornets and Gypsy Moths in North America. As well, it’s going to snow this weekend in Eastern Canada and USA, while the west experiences droughts. It’s like the movie The Day After Tomorrow was crossed with Contagion. There have already been tornados as early as March in the Southern US and based upon everything else that’s gone wrong hurricane season will probably be particularly terrible. Hopefully this pandemic isn’t just a prelude to what the planet is gearing up to unleash on us.

The end clips depict a bat eating, pooping and instantly infecting a pig, and then instantly infecting a human. Usually even the first part for a bat with a virus to pass it to a pig would take months of mutations, etc… and then to become zoonotic again takes a long time to happen.
It was definitely a good movie, despite the many inaccuracies.

The disease in this movie had a mortality rate of between 25% and 30%. Covid maybe less than 1%? MEV-1 killed ~26 million people. Covid 276,000 (exaggerated numbers) in 4 months so around 6900/month. It would take Covid 376 months (31 years) to reach 26 million. So what I’m saying….can we start hockey again soon?

One thing that bothers me about the movie is the incubation period of the virus. One of the reasons the coronavirus has spread so well is that it has a long incubation period with a lot of asymptomatic transmission and a low fatality rate. But in Contagion, it seems MEV-1 has a very short incubation period, short disease duration and relatively high fatality rate. Wouldn’t this cause it to burn out quickly?

Is there a reasonable method of calculating R0 with a test rate adaquate for the population, and data on the death-recovery rate as well as tracking of confirmed case numbers?
Tim Oliver
May 9, 2020 at 4:59 pm
Also is it reasonable to assume if the rate of new cases is less than the rate of recoveries and deaths the R0 is less than 1? Regardless we’re trying to reduce the number of active cases, which is what is happening when the rate of confirmed new cases is less and I’m surprised trackers like the JHU GIS site don’t emphasize these rates.

Excellent video I enjoyed it I hope you can read my comment. However I think you missed the critical point of the movie: The reason why bats move closer to pigs in the first place, Was because of habitat destruction by humans. Yes there are a lot of potential pathogens in the wild and they’re going to be closer and closer to humans if we humans keep destroying our forests and our natural world. In a way, I think, humans are the true pathogen of the word. I speak as a biologist, neuroethologist and neuroscientist.

Saw this movie opening night with a bunch of other public health people and I just remember being so annoyed at the scene at the Minn Department of Health, one of the top state departments of heath in terms of expertise, where they were talked to like children; not the way any of that conversation would have gone. They needed it to inform the audience, but they could have used a different setting for it so thanks for calling that out.

I have RA and Lupus. Because of the public outing of Plaquenil as a potential therapy means I now can’t get my script filled. So I’m suffering because trump advocated for taking it “just in case” and “what have you got to lose?” It’s a toxic AF medication and I have to be monitored regularly to make sure it isn’t poisoning me. I really hope that I can get it filled this month now that many countries banned the use. If it was helping patients in hospital, great. The problem is that a bunch of people ran to the dr to get scripts they don’t NEED and that is complete BS.

I’ve always wondered how you can infect fewer than one person? 🤔

It’s an average. So some will infect one or more, some will infect none. When they’re averaged out, it comes to a figure of less than one.

As Neil deGrasse Tyson quoted Mark Twain in analyzing movies, “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.” so you’ll have to forgive Hollywood for taking creative license on what are very grounded concepts in epidemiology. Also you forgot to mention in the movie and in real life, Dr. Sanjay Gupta is in a news program. Hahaha

We might consider the nuances allowed in adopting the title of “expert.” Cuz we all know if you just inject some hand sanitizer, you’ll be fine.

Why do we need to project millions of deaths in order to do what we need to do to minimize its spread as much as possible? FFS, America. Wake up and realize we are all connected and that eventually it will be you or someone you love. Herd Immunity is NOT a realistic consideration.

Yep. America blew off being the role model for the free world when we decided we’d all rather be rich at everyone else’s expense.

Question: There’s an important scene about Kate Winslet’s death, and that’s why I think she died in the movie to explain what people should do when they have symptoms or already know they are infected, she stays in the bedroom doesn’t leave and and gives the alarm, asks to reach out to anyone who worked on her hotel room so they don’t spread it to others and we can see what we should do to protect people if we were infected, or how officials will act. Is that right? Did you see that scene?

Question: There’s also a scene with Kate Winslet and her colleague where he is complaining about his wife saying she is paranoid and makes him take his shoes and clothes when he enters the house and Kate says she is right. And actually in the country I live in we do that, we have a “contamination” zone in the entrance of the house where we leave our shoes, car keys, handbag, etc and preferentially we choose certain clothes and shoes to go out and those are the ones we only use to go out. How do you feel about it?
