Jude Law says scientists warned him during the filming of Contagion that a real pandemic was inevitable

Life imitating art: Jude Law has addressed the similarities between his film Contagion and the coronavirus during an interview with GQ on Thursday

 

The 2011 film Contagion now seems eerily prescient when it comes to depicting a modern pandemic, given its parallels to the current COVID-19 outbreak.

 

And the movie's star Jude Law has addressed the similarities during an interview with GQ on Thursday.

 

'There was absolutely the sense that this was going to happen,' said the 47-year-old when discussing his most iconic roles. 

 

Talking about the experts brought on to consult on the drama, Law said, 'The great scientists on set with us who had worked with Scott [Z. Burns] the writer and [director] Steven Soderbergh were very learned and experienced individuals who knew what to expect.'

There should be a legal certified death rate from any ailment before it can be called a "Pandemic" ! a word that is designed to cause fear and panic throughout the population. 5% sounds like a good number, which incidentally is over 60,000 times as high as the 0.00008% of population who have died in Thailand. Unfortunately the media, for their own reasons, see fit to spread totally out of proportion news. Are they going to get up on the screen and say "Thailand, a country of around 70 million people, just suffered their 60'th fatality" ?  No, of course they are not, it doesn't sound scary enough to warrant a complete change in lifestyle ????
