The film "Contagion" is also excellent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contagion_(2011_film)

It got almost everything weirdly right, down to a quack drug that seems like a placeholder for ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.

The only thing it got wrong is that it shows the CDC performing really well and continuing to enjoy a high level of respect.

I am so absolutely glad I didn't watch this until Covid hit. There hasn't been a movie that dropped my jaw like that in a long time. It's basically alternate-universe Covid. The few things they got wrong were either incredibly forgivable or simply for dramatic effect. What a movie.
