Contagion, the Movie, Plays Out In Real Life

If you had told me in 2011 that the Steven Soderbergh movie, "Contagion," would one day play out in real life, I would've probably laughed at you. It seemed like Hollywood fiction nine years ago. Today, "Contagion" is literally playing out in real life! Watch the movie now, I dare you! It's suddenly the scariest movie ever made! It makes "The Exorcist" look like a comedy! We've lived through the 1949 polio epidemic, and the SARS outbreak in 2003, We've seen from afar the Ebola virus; largely limited to Africa... but this virus, also known as "COVID-19" is a completely different animal. Unlike Matt Damon's character in "Contagion", nobody is immune to it. To call it a nightmare would be a gross understatement! Healthcare professionals are at their wit's end trying to control and contain it We've never seen a paranoia-inducing monstrosity that is COVID-19. It's an insidious, invisible foe that has left the entire world in a state of complete paralysis; lives here in America and far beyond have been disrupted it like never before! It keeps spreading... like wildfire, and claiming lives at an alarming rate. This Coronavirus pandemic has plunged the world into an abyss of dread, but let us all cling to something infinitely powerful, our faith. We'll get through this, by the grace of God.
