It's amazing how accurately this portrays the COVID outbreak. I know many have already commented on the similarities. I found it to be a fascinating movie. It honestly reminds me of the book "The Titan" that was printed years before the Titanic was built and yet it gave such an exact account of what happened with the Titanic, even down to where in the Atlantic the ship would hit an iceberg. I know they don't know what exactly started the COVID outbreak and I know some believe that it was done on purpose but I do know that one theory has to do with bats. In this movie they figure out that the disease came from a bat that contaminated pigs in China. They don't really know how it happened but at the end of the movie it shows how the bat's diseased parts ended up in the pig food and the pigs were then sold to a restaurant where patient 0 ate and then traveled home from China, bringing the virus with her. We may not know exactly what started COVID but it started in China and one theory did point the finger at bats that were being studied in a lab out there. Anyway, it is a fascinating movie anyway but when you add on the events that began 9 years later, it becomes a rather remarkable movie.
