Fears of the coronavirus have prompted movie fans to re-examine quarantine and pandemic based movies – one of many is ‘Contagion’, a 2011 American thriller film, plotted around a pandemic with creepy events similar to that of the COVID-19 of now.

The film has been topping the charts on social media and entertainment community. It also exemplifies how people often use fiction as a means to process reality.

Recently, the stars of the film have reunited for a series of public service announcements to warn about COVID-19.

Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, and Jennifer Ehle have teamed up with scientists from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health to offer four individual homemade videos.

Damon, a character in the film, says, “That was a movie. This is real life. I have no reason to believe that I’m immune to COVID-19. And neither do you.”
