For an chillingly realistic depiction of how a worldwide pandemic could unfold, I'd highly recommend watching the film Contagion (2011)[1]. For all those who complain governments and scientists overreacting to new flu strains, I would prefer that than the alternative - doing too little and being swamped by an uncontrollable virus.

- creativityland 13y agoWill have to give this a watch. Not sure how realistic but Plague Inc is not bad for an iPhone/iPad game. http://www.ndemiccreations.com/en/ http://www.ndemiccreations.com/en/
- ndemic 13y agoGlad you think so ;)
- draugadrotten 13y agoYou may be interested in https://www.moocdemic.com/ https://www.moocdemic.com/ which is a global simulated outbreak, playable on iPhone and android phones. The games goes together with the online MOOC "Epidemics - the Dynamics of Infectious Diseases" https://www.coursera.org/course/epidemics https://www.coursera.org/course/epidemics
- tdfx 13y agoThat's exactly what I thought of when I read this title. That movie give my friend a panic attack.
- orenbarzilai 13y agoI would also like to recommend World war Z. cuz a zombie plague is much more dangerous than flu
- Fomite 13y agoPhD Epidemiologist: I wouldn't. I love zombies, and I love zombies in Epidemiology, but I wouldn't exactly hold World War Z as a great example of pandemics in action. Especially not the movie.
- unclebucknasty 13y agoI'm pretty sure the parent was being sarcastic.
- Fomite 13y agoI never can tell these days.
- Udo 13y agoThere was also a BBC documentary called "Pandemic" which was pretty good, with more relatable characters than Contagion had in my opinion.
- nsxwolf 13y agoFor a much more fun depiction, try Outbreak (1995) [1] [1] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114069/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114069/
