Contagion’s Screenwriter on Watching His Movie Go Viral

It's legitimately hard to talk about this without bashing the current administration.

You mean the article rather than the movie?

Edit: Don't let the article put you off the movie - its very good (although it is arguably both more optimistic and more pessimistic that the situation we all currently face).

The article seems pretty good to me, and in fact convinced me to watch the movie. Back then I had dismissed it as yet another disaster movie, a bit like "Outbreak" (the 1995 film).

Sorry, personally I didn't think the article was bad - just that it makes a few political points which might give the impression that the movie took a similar approach. From what I recall, and I watched it again the other night, politics doesn't play a large part in the plot of the movie at all.

I would rather get covid-19 than have to endure another conversation about the federal government and the current administration's handling of it.
