Movies that predicted the Coronavirus outbreak



As various countries enter complete lockdown in a bid to tackle the Coronavirus pandemic, many of us are turning to movies and TV shows for distraction. It doesn’t quite appear to be working, though, as movie-logging social media app, Letterboxd, has shared statistics showing a huge spike in viewers watching a pandemic movie from nearly ten years ago.

As folks begin to analyze their watchlists, some viewers have begun claiming various movies predicted the outbreak. Here we got a list of tv shows and movies that we thought did a good job predicting the coronavirus outbreak, or came close to it.


Contagion

Let’s start off with Contagion a pandemic movie from nearly ten years ago.  The 2011 film is even in the top ten charts on most streaming services, including iTunes and Google Play – 
seems that we can’t get enough of the apocalypse.

In the movie, a fictional virus called MEV-1 hops from bats to pigs to people, quickly spreading from its Hong Kong origin point. Contagion follows a large cast of characters as they react to the spreading virus, including a CDC investigator, played by Kate Winslet, who explains how the virus spreads in terms that will be familiar to anyone paying attention to COVID-19.

In the movie, the main character just got back from a trip to Hong Kong before she starts experiencing the symptoms of the virus. She then dies of an unknown cause. This draws a parallel to the overwhelming spread of the coronavirus in Asia and to people that have traveled to Asia.


The Simpsons

The Simpsons has certainly made a habit of telling the future, including Donald Trump’s presidency and the invention of the smartwatch, so it’s no surprise that fans have found an eerily similar 1993 episode depicting a global pandemic. In the season 4 episode, "Marge in Chains", the Osaka Flu travels from a Japanese packaging warehouse and infects most of Springfield’s residents.

As the Coronavirus is said to have originated in Wuhan, China, this is one of the Simpsons less accurate 'predictions', but remains further proof that the show has eerie fortune-telling abilitie.

Fans believe the writers foretold also that actor Hankswould have to self-isolate one day, as news broke that the Hollywood star and his wife, Rita Wilson, caught COVID-19 while filming Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic on location in Australia.


My Secret, Terrius 

In the tenth episode of this 2018 South Korean Netflix series, a Doctor explains his concerns about a flu-like virus that attacks the respiratory system. He says, “We must do more research, but it looks like a mutant coronavirus,” so of course the internet blew up. A later scene even shows a class of children being taught how to effectively wash their hands – although no one sings "Happy Birthday".
