Gasp!

(I just watched Contagion, which if you don't know, has the worldwide panic-epidemic traced to a virus passed from bats, for which there is no vaccine.)

Experts on infectious diseases Thursday warned people to stay away from bats worldwide after the recent death of an eight-year-old boy bitten in Australia.

The boy last month became the third person in the country to die of Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV), for which there is no effective treatment.

  Raw Story


And I just realized that the movie people got away with killing off two high-dollar actresses right away, while leaving two high-dollar actors alive for the whole movie, and there's really no cinematic reason the roles couldn't have been switched.
