On all points you made.
At the very beginning of the movie where the incinerate that village; that's a real type of weapon!
Very powerful and can detonate at any altitude.

That film takes a lot of dramatic license with reality to say the least, but the ability to create and replicate and mass produce a vaccine in a matter of hours is the biggest whopper of them all.

Nothing against the film itself...I saw it and even enjoyed it as a thriller, but definitely NOT a documentary! I think our POTUS was viewing from a different perspective.

..is Contagion. At least that's the case for me. I found it more realistic than Outbreak and it too has a star-studded cast.

It's eery how that movie got so much "right." Except maybe the hoarding of toilet paper. I was literally telling a friend about this the other day when they called to check on me. I normally like thriller, sci-fi and horror type movies. Since the start of all of this I've been "social -distancing" from them too. However, I saw Contagion a few years back and now I wish I hadn't.

When I hear about the doctors and nurses I can't help but think of Kate Winslet's character.

Potentially could be a 2nd wave of Corona that mutates in the Fall thus not only killing thousands more, but also postponing the election.

Will watch the movie tonight!! (after Rachel of course)
