Films based on infectious disease - shows and novels


Contagion and My Secret Terriers are not the only films that have long ago pointed to, or predicted, the possibility of a coronavirus. The same thing was said in an American-Canadian series called The Deadzone.

The Dead Zone was a science-fiction comedy drama starring Johnny Smith as actor Anthony Michael wakes up after a long coma and develops an unexpected - irrational mental capacity. Stephen wrote a novel on the subject in 18 and based on it. Six seasons of the show.

In the second installment of the second season of the show, the viewers witnessed all the events that are happening to the citizens of the world today. What was most interesting about the show was that the health inspector who researched the virus had its roots in China. One of its patients has also come in contact with some animal and at that time citizens are advised to use masks and PPE.

The film's hero, John Smith, advises on the school lockdown and the town's sheriff enforces it. In the end all the quarantine is done. Health Inspector Smith recommends the use of the anti-malaria drug chloroquine. This is the same medicine that India has provided to Brazil and the United States to protect against the epidemic.

The South Korean series My Secret Terius was released in 2013. The 10th episode of which was based on coronavirus at the end of 2012, was found. Continuation, released in 2011, was directed by Steven Spielberg himself. In addition to the film-show, a book, Heart of Darkness, was released in 2007, whose author Dean Kutz predicted that an epidemic would break out in 2020. There is no similarity in this book and in the present circumstances but there are many similarities.
