    Watched "Contagion". Wow. They pretty much foretold the events of Covid 8 years before. The panic, the social media misinformation, the rigidity of politicians, the uncooperativeness of a very loud minority. We're not a hive mind, we never have been.

    Scary. Not a feel-good watch. 2011: Drama/thriller. 2020: Documentary.

    • Except, of course, that Covid was a lot milder than the movie virus.jagara
    • I stumbled upon it, but TBH, I don't recommend watching it. No one needs more anxiety right now :)jagara
    • Next pandemic we should just leave the antivax fuckers to antivax themselves into oblivion.BusterBoy
    • I also just rewatched. Uncanny really. I also watched the first week of lockdown and it was even more frightening.shellie
    • lol these parallels
      ********
    • Funny how you watched it first week of lockdown. Why do we do this to ourselves? I'm asking myself too ＞﹏＜jagara
    • Haha, I also watched this while bed-bound as the first lockdown kicked in. It was wholly unnecessary as I fucking shat myself thinking... "this is it Ian"Ianbolton
    • I think at that point, nobody knew how viral it was, how easily it'd spread or how quickly it would mutate into something much worse. It was scary shitIanbolton
    • Yeah jagara but 3 million Americans still lost their lives, that’s one September 11 every single day and nobody thought 9-11 was a hoax...oh wait :)_niko
    • @_niko What do you mean? Am I arguing against loss of American lives? I hope I'm not. Covid was/is not a hoax.jagara
    • With the hive mind comment just meant that humanity at large isn't good at cooperating.jagara
