The movie from 2011
This is a well done movie with some realistic outcomes. When a lethal pandemic strikes, the government overreacts in some areas and the usual human selfish motives start appearing. A chief medical officer of the CDC warns his wife first and try to get out of Chicago and of course she tells others so the rumors spread. Riots and food shortages begin and battles to get perceived cures and vaccines cause mass panic.
There are millions of casualties worldwide but in this instance a vaccine is found so a happy ending is predicted.
Reality: We may not be able to create a timely vaccine if something like this comes along. What will you do if we have something equivalent to this?
Physical separation from others is the only safe answer. To accomplish this you need a home that ideally is physically separate as well. This means one that doesn't have the possibility of air infiltration from an adjoining home. Food shopping is not advisable and may not even be possible so would you want to rely on MRE handouts from the government if available. Lay aside lots of food.
At the end of the movie and at different points you get replays of the vectors that may have caused and spread the disease.
Highly recommended for survival preparation ideas since there are some plausible scenarios in this movie.
Watch the trailer Contagion
