I've always loved 'outbreak' but somehow missed seeing 'contagion.'  how does it compare?  I'd be very surprised if it provides a character on the level of colonel sam daniels.

Outbreak is the superior picture.

i might throw world war z in there.  i don't love zombie movies and hate horror movies, but this kinda straddles the line.

God the movie was flaming COVID-induced diarrhea. The book is so superior and if HBO/Prime doesn’t grab it for a miniseries soon, I’m going to be pissed.

I may watch every episode of Seinfeld in order during this quarantine.

I started this about 5 days ago. Been watching two Frazier's and two Seinfeld's from episode 1 every night before bed. 

it cannot be understated just how horrible that Seinfeld pilot was and how much they had to change to make it watchable. 

Realized pretty quickly that during this virus outbreak I feel like Niles Crane afraid to touch anything and wiping everything down first.

For pandemic themed entertainment:

Outbreak (movie) - obviously a classic, currently on Netflix

Pandemic (Netflix miniseries) - thought it was okay, lots of fluff about certain people that I found kinda boring, could've been 50% shorter

Contagion (movie) - assuming most people have seen this, but if not, it's a pretty interesting depiction that could mirror real life pretty soon

The Last Town on Earth (book by Thomas Mullen) - historical fiction novel about a small town that quarantined itself during the 1918 influenza pandemic and prevented outsiders from entering. I really enjoyed it but it's been a while since I read it.

https://www.amazon.com/Last-Town-Earth-Novel/dp/0812975928

Pandemic (board game) - good for 2-4 players, players are all on the same team against the game, trying to prevent the pandemic from killing humanity. Wife and I have been playing it lately. Each game takes 30-60 minutes, pretty fun if you like games.

https://www.amazon.com/Z-Man-Games-ZM7101-Pandemic/dp/B00A2HD40E

 

My 2 teenage boys and myself stopped down for one yesterday.  Its campy/stupid but not that bad...thank me later

I present...Cooties

Wife isn’t big on old movies, war movies or historical movies that don’t interest her.  
 

we’re sitting down to watch Lawrence of Arabia right now.  Will report the tidings. 

Mine is the same. It took a lot of convincing to get her to go see They Shall Not Grow Old.

She loved it.

Listen to me woman. I know what I'm talking about
