Spot on!

Weirdly enough I rewatched Contagion sometime in December. The current pandemic rollout is, indeed, a dummy version of that script with the leading real actors stupid and malevolent. Nowhere do I recall anyone (in the movie) suggesting we should sacrifice the elderly or infirmed on the altar of capitalism. Why? Because back in the day similar comments would be considered monstrous, immoral, evil.

Btw, I've also seen The Road . So right. We certainly don't want that script as our future!
