Storyline
Soon after her return from a business trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff dies from what is a flu or some other type of infection. Her young son dies later the same day. Her husband Mitch however seems immune. Thus begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection. They must first identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins to break down as people panic. Written by garykmcd

Factual errors: When Alan Krumwiede is detained he is told that they found no viral antibodies in his body and therefore he never had MEV-1 and forsythia's benefits he was promoting on the blog are a lie. In fact, as mentioned earlier in the movie, people with no natural immunity (like Mr Emhoff) fail to mount an immune response to the virus. It is, therefore, quite possible that Krumwiede had the virus and that it was cleared by forsythia without him having an antibody response. See more »Crazy Credits
