This movie just reminds me of a real virus outbreak in the real world. SARS outbreak in China in 2002. At that time, almost all schools stop their class. Few people in the public area. All patients are
isolated immediately. It cost the Chinese government a lot of time to determine what is the pathogen, virus, bacteria or something else, and it influences the speed of inventing the vaccine. At that time, almost all university take part in the inventing vaccine.
In the movie, when the public know that there is a severe disease spreading quacking around them, they try to get every resource they can, like food, water, and torch. No one obeys the rule. Some people even rob the supermarket to get the food they need. However, I think that many citizens rob shops are unrealistic in the real world. It might happen at the beginning of the crisis, but
authorities will use their force, like police even the army, to maintain the order in society. They will arrange all the
resources in the country and deliver it to citizens.
If there is a similar crisis happen in the real world, the human might just do as in the movie. First, they will
isolate all the people who might get infected and
object their symptoms to slow down its spread. At the same time, all the research organizations will work together to figure out the pathogen. After they find out the pathogen, scientists will start to invent the vaccine. It is exactly what the Chinese government did when the SARS outbreak in China in 2002.
After I watch this movie, I feel terrible about what people do when they face the crisis. People only concern themselves. Most people no longer obey ethics rules which we think are normal on average days. People will not wait in line when receiving delivered food. No people help others because they do not want to get a
contract. The government officer and their family have the privilege to receive the vaccine first. People should feel shame about their behaviors.
