I found this last night and posted it in the big China Flu thread at midnight. It's still available 8 hours later so I'm starting this thread for anyone who wants to watch or save it. This is the one "virus" movie I've been trying to find to post recently.

Watch and/or download quickly though. It's going to be deleted at some point and I suspect quickly. I'd download it first, then watch, but that's me. That would prevent them from deleting it when you are half way through watching and don't get to see the last half. Youtube did that to me years ago. It's frustrating.

What makes this movie somewhat special, and scary, is that the science in this is real.
That makes it a definite doomer pandemic film. It's also a well done major film.
It's about a bad outbreak of a virus from Asia (sound familiar?) It's not certain this is how things will play out in the US.

Using the same format as the normal movie threads:

I believe the movie didn't portray the violence which would break out when the virus spread and people lost hope, food supplies slowed and stopped to the major cities, first responders died and stopped policing. From a medical point of view, I thought it was pretty good. Our major cities have between 3-10 days supply of food which will quickly run out when the trucks stop bringing resupplies. A major pandemic will cause people who manage the grid to either stay home or they'll die, leaving the electrical grid to collapse and with it any sense of the rule of law, violence will spread like wildfires and the fires which will consume out cities. We don't have enough National Guard and military to police the country and they will be getting ill too.

Lot of friends, neighbors & relatives you might want to wake up to prep for CoronaVirus pandemic
won't read/study what we all do here, but many will watch a movie. Contagion is the best tool to be
pushing them all to check out. The science is pretty good, the effects realistic, and most especially
it'll be sounding to them all more & more eerily just like today's most recent breaking news.

The scenes where the main character was at home and hearing gun shots or at the grocery store, are timid to what really would be happening. My job places me in positions where I'm around very selfish and sometimes violent people. People are wicked and when it comes to self preservation will turn you in, turn on you, and turn you into worm food.

Realistically In a shtf situation I believe;
1/3 people ok...
1/3 people won't be able to function
1/3 people violent psychopaths

that and a few other unrealistic gaffs for a lockdown pandemic >>> if you cut in a few scenes from The Road and Testament it would help tremendously ....

Science says that 1% of the population are clinical psycopaths, including 25% of those in prison. And that some of the highest rates of psycopathy are among CEOs and police officers. People who think human nature is inherently "Good" tend to inherently be victims. Those who know otherwise tend to carry guns.

Playing the game "Dungeons and Dragons" in my youth changed my way of looking at human nature. I sincerely believe that:
15% of the population could be objectively called "Good", and would help others even at risk to themselves,
70% of the population just want to get by and while superficially appearing to be "Good" will take the easiest way out every time,
15% of the population are pure "Evil" and are only held back by the threat of the law. Semi-sociable cannibals.

People emptying all store shelves in a stampeding panic won't be delayed 3-10 days till stores shelves have already begun emptying from lack of re-supply.
More likely stores will be overrun and then out of everything edible the same day it dawns on a very small % that
"Our major cities have between 3-10 days supply of food which will quickly run out when the trucks stop bringing resupplies."

Make sense?

real life instances like the last minute natural disaster buying - Black Friday crazy crowds - and snafu unlimited welfare cards >>>> all show that stores won't even last a day - one way or another they'll be picked clean - if they get looted, good chance the stores themselves will be burned out shells and no chance of re-supply & re-opening anytime soon ...

This is definitely a TPTB conditioning movie. I watched the whole thing. predictive programing at it best.
The theme conveyed at the end of the movie is, you can have your life, as it was, (back to normal)if you take t the vaccine. And true to form, made the Antivaxxers look like crazies.

I agree with you, they forgot that with the mass numbers of people who died in a major pandemic our lives would never return to what they were. Large sections of cities would have been burned to the ground, industries would be gone, the electrical grid would most likely be down for a very long time. Survivors would fight over clean water, food, and any remaining drugs. The world after a major pandemic would be worse than living in Europe after the Second World War because there won't be an America to help rebuild.

Do you have the monthly capacity (with Hughes) to download it now? It's a 650MB file.
I think you are tough enough to watch it :)

I'm glad others got to watch and/or save it today. This morning, I gave it only a 50% chance of still being up tonight and only 10% chance of it still being available tomorrow night.

i think im downloading it. I clicked the first link and the circle is going around....
Unless it asked you specifically about saving it, then you are likely not downloading it in a way that will save the file. More likely is that it is downloading enough to start playing the movie. I'd stop that to save your hughes download bandwidth.

For a windows machine, use the link and instructions at the bottom of the first post. Not sure how to save from links if you are using apple or linux.

Think I'll watch it on the tablet, and when it throttles, I can switch over to the koontz book dealing with some chinese virus that fred gave us the link to- won't sleep tonight, but wasn't expecting to anyways lol.
...Now all I need is someone with popcorn delivery :D
Thanks again.

Thanks from me and several friends!

I have spent the last 2 weeks recovering from Influenza B. The body is drained, weak and easy prey for any other ailment. I do not wish this on anyone. Take precautions. Use PPE. It can still get you. Be prepared for if it happens to you or someone you love.

We have the disk and have now watched it twice. What really gets me is it follows today's scenario very closely and yet was made in 2011. How did they know in 2011? Who told them? I think I might start calling this the Bill and Melinda Gates virus. They have spent huge amounts of money through their foundation to depopulate the world. It has been a pet objective of theirs for years.
