Viral Epidemic Films
Of all types of apocalyptic possibilities, the idea of a massive epidemic spread world-wide scares me the most. Sure, scientists have developed cures for many diseases, and vaccines to prevent most. However it is always the most threatening which seem to have no cure. Diseases can spread even faster than information can, which in this day in age, is a scary thought. All it takes is one infected person going somewhere public, and a disease can begin to spread exponentially. Fear of germs and diseases, and taking precautions to prevent their spread is normal and helpful. However, there are many people who will not shake the hands of others, eat at restaurants, or even go into very public places for fear of germ and disease. Some movies depicting wide spread epidemics are:
- Contagion
- The Crazies
- 12 Monkeys
- Outbreak
