Huh? My recollection was that it didn’t model any of the disinformation campaigns or denial of its threat by governments. My vague recollection (from like 8 years ago) is that it was a series of vignettes of people caring a lot about not getting infected and being careful. Again, not very representative.
Contagion is a hard science fiction story about a world stopping virus, and it got every single social phenomena correct.
Huh, I hadn’t even thought to consider contagion as science fiction (by the time I watched it was just called “reality”)
That’s a pretty extreme over-dramatization. Corona isn’t even 1% as bad.

Edit: Fair enough, seems I misremembered.
I watched it beat-for-beat and it had tons of pretty much spot on “yup, that’s the way it went down”.
If the Coronavirus had a 30% fatality rate people would care a lot about not getting infected in the real world, too.
That movie had been recommended to me several times, but I never got around to watch it; I guess if there’s a moment to do so, it’d be now.
