Ling time readers of this blog probably know that my major source of entertainment is going to the movies. I was planning to do that tonight (Friday night is “monkey night”), but I learned today that the Mahoning Valley Theater is closed for the next two weeks because of the coronavirus.
I blame Trump.
Anyway, we stayed home and watched a movie from about 2011 called “Contagion.” Laurence Fishburne plays the head of the CDC. The movie featured internet scams, problems coordinating government agencies, misinformation, the term “social distancing,” warning about touching faces, and eventual panic. Pretty much what we are experiencing now, except the the President didn’t make matters worse.
Spoiler alert: Gwyneth Paltrow dies in the first five minutes.
