Matt Damon: ‘Coronavirus outbreak predictable by film Contagion’ | NOW

Matt Damon is not right when people say that the coronavirus outbreak is unpredictable. In an interview with the Irish radio station Spin 1038, he says that a similar story was already told in the movie Contagion from 2011.

“Anyone who says that the coronavirus was unpredictable should check it out Contagion look. We made a movie ten years ago where we talked to experts who told us how it would go, “he says.

Since the outbreak, Damon says he has been in close contact with screenwriter Scott Burns and the experts consulted to make the film as credible as possible.

The film Contagion tells the fictional story of a virus given to humanity in Macau in China from a bat, via a slaughtered pig and then spread by touch. Damon plays the husband of the first patient to die of the disease.

The actor calls the current pandemic “tragic,” but hopes the world’s population will learn from it. “Hopefully something positive will come out. This virus is not as deadly as it could have been, so perhaps it will prepare us for a larger virus that may come in the coming decades.” 0

In the interview, Damon says that his 21-year-old stepdaughter Alexia had the corona virus and got through it well.
