In an apparent effort to glean what one might expect from a deadly viral pandemic, streams of the 2011 film “Contagion” spiked earlier this month, placing the eerily prophetic flick near the top of many streaming services’ most-watched lists.
Perhaps now realizing the power they wielded, stars of the film, including Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet and Jennifer Ehle, have each released home videos to educate people on how the coronavirus spreads and urging viewers to continue to be vigilant.
The PSAs are produced in partnership with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. “Every single one of us, regardless of age or ethnicity, is at risk of getting it,” warns Ehle in her clip.
