How Steven Soderbergh's pandemic procedural 'Contagion' suddenly became the most urgent movie of 2020
right now, the day after a handful of major cities declared a state of emergency, and it’s currently in the No. 4 slot. viewed. It’s a disaster movie but it’s also a pandemic procedural, one devoted to charting the how, when, where, why — and most importantly, what happens next. The film’s CDC and WHO representatives are competent, intelligent, and organized; they have mobilized to the best of their collective abilities.
And that last bit in particular is something we really aren’t getting right now when we hear about travel bans in lieu of testing, delayed responses instead of determination to make up for lost time, past leaders being defensively blamed rather than current ones acting with accountability.

The Government Is So Incompetent People Are Turning to Contagion's Screenwriter for Coronavirus InformationAs the United States finds itself in the midst of an epidemic, with seemingly a trickle of information and assistance provided by the CDC (and a near-total dearth of it from the clown-boys tasked with running the country), solid and reliable advice has become a take-it-where-you-can-get-it situation. Some of us have been gleaning that information from the websites of countries with more competent governments, which is where I first learned that it is prudent to keep one meter between your person and anyone you may be speaking with (thank you, England) and that social distancing is a good idea in slowing the spread of the virus (thank you, South Korea).
