⁣The 2011 film, written by Scott Z. Burns and directed by Steven Soderbergh, depicts a worldwide outbreak of a deadly virus… sound familiar?

So I decided to compare everything thees guys got right, and everything they got wrong.

It’s quite remarkable to see a film almost a decade old, so accurately depict the reality of, possibly, the largest pandemic we have seen this century.

I’ll refer to three points specifically,
- Disease origin.
- Transmission speed.
- The impact of misinformation.

Probably the most shocking match with reality is that the fictitious MEV-1 disease depicted in the movie originates from animals. From bats to pigs, to humans.

The information we have today about COVID-19 tells us that it too has an animal origin: a bat, to a pangolin, to finally reach humans.

It is believed that the disease made its way from a bat to a pangolin in a wet market, specifically, this market in Wuhan where wildlife is traded. The conditions of the market, where animals are stacked on top of each other likely created a similar deadly coincidence.

Now, while only a small portion of the Chinese population consumes wildlife animals, the highly contagious nature of COVID-19 allowed it to quickly spread from patient zero, into the city of Wuhan.

Which brings me to the next point, transmission speed.

The reproduction number is used to estimate and represent how quickly a disease can spread. We use a similar number in the startup world to estimate when a product is ‘viral’, meaning, users that convert other users.

Like COVID-19, the fictitious virus is respiratory and can live in surfaces, fomites (18:28), for several hours or even days- making it all that easy to transmit.

In the film, patient zero contracts the virus in Hong Kong, which is technically another match, and imports it to the US. We see little of the development of the pandemic in other countries, but in the US, it spreads extremely fast.

While MEV-1 and COVID-19 share a similar R-naught factor, in the film, 125+ million people are infected about a month after patient zero.

Patient Zero for the US showed up on January 19th, about two months before I shot this video, and while testing hasn’t been the most efficient in the country, the official estimate today is about 1,500 infected.

In the film, the response from health authorities and the government was prompt, with quarantine zones established as soon as 14 days after the first death.

However, it’s the impact and dynamics of misinformation and mass hysteria, where we can find eerie similarities with our 2020 reality.

Distrust in the government and fake news. In the movie, they are represented by Jude Law’s character, a blogger that, while credited with noticing the epidemic early on, begins disseminates false theories, with no other seeming purpose than generating traffic for his website and chaos.

Alan fakes contracting the disease and fakes getting better using a natural extract called Forsythia.

Forsythia is a real herb, used to treat bronchitis and believed to help reduce inflammation, but even today, without sufficient evidence to be used in medicine. Alan’s claims release chaos as misinformed masses begin to try to get their hands on the extract.

Similarly, a group of conspiracy theorists including Alex Jones has begun promoting Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator that “beats coronavirus”, claiming they have “clinical documentation” to prove it. A cease and desist was issued by the NY Attorney General, but we are yet to find out if it does anything to stop them.

We are, of course, also seeing shortages with masks (which have been advised against by the World Health Organization), hand sanitizer and… toilet paper for some reason.

When a vaccine is developed in the film (incorrectly, just 133 days after patient zero), Jude Law’s character threatens to continue misinforming his followers about the potential side effects of the vaccine. Including autism.

The film also taunts at misinformed government officials.

Which is just icing on the cake after seeing this go down in our real-world White House.

As for what comes next, the film predicts a suspension in basic services, food shortages, and mass graves. Let’s hope we don’t see any of that.

Using this opportunity to remind everyone that washing your hands with soap is the best route. Soap is the best agent to break down the protein and lipid walls of the virus.

At a time when people are advised to take all precautionary measures to keep coronavirus infection at bay, a priest of a temple in Varanasi has put face masks on deities and appealed the devotees to not touch the idols. "Coronavirus has spread across the country. We have put a mask on Lord Vishwanath to raise awareness about coronavirus. Just like we put clothes on the idols when it is cold and put ACs or fans when it's hot, we have put masks on the deities," temple priest Krishna Anand Pandey said on Monday. <br /> <br />विश्वभर में कोरोना वायरस को लेकर हाहाकार मचा हुआ है, वहीं भारत में भी अब तक कोरोना वायरस के करीब 50 मामले सामने आ चुके हैं. इस बीच वाराणसी के प्रह्लादेश्वर मंदिर में पुजारी ने भगवान शिव को मास्क पहना दिया है. साथ ही लोगों से उन्हें ने छूने (स्पर्श) की अपील की गई है. पूरी जानकारी के लिए ये वीडियो देखें <br /> <br />#Coronavirus #Varanasi #PrahladeshwarTemple
