Since it hit headlines in early January 2020, novel coronavirus (also known as Wuhan conorovirus or COVID-19) has been reminding many of the 2011 film Contagion. In this episode, we look at the history of the various real coronavirus' such as SARS and MERS, how they work, and if the nightmare scenario depicted in the film is something we should be concerned about.
Contagion is a 2011 film directed by Stephen Soderberg. In the film, the death of Beth Emhoff and her son leads to the discovery of a deadly virus that quickly becomes a pandemic. As the US Centers for Disease Control struggles to curb its spread, a worldwide panic ensues.
