I saw this movie several times before the pandemic of 2019. For me there was too many parallels from a 2011 fiction pandemic to a modern day pandemic. There is the usual Hollywood exaggerated scenes. There's a scene where a popular doctor is giving a interview on a newscast. And this doctor is doing this same interview now. There's the social distancing, hand washing and contact tracing information. The worst of human nature is shown between rich, politically connected individuals who gets the vaccination or the poor that does not. This film challenged the various government agencies in giving out accurate information to the public. I think if you previously saw this movie and re-watch this movie your views might definitely change.
