A top scientific consultant for 2011 pandemic flick “Contagion” has revealed he is suffering from coronavirus. Dr W. Ian Lipkin, who works as a director of Columbia University’s Center for Infection and Immunity, announced he had contracted the disease during an interview on Fox News.
Appearing on Lou Dobbs Tonight on Tuesday: “I would just like to say, on this show tonight, that this has become very personal to me too because I have COVID as of yesterday. “It is miserable, it is miserable.” “If it can hit me, it can hit anybody.
That’s the message I want to convey.” His revelation comes as coronavirus rates spike rapidly across the US, which also led the film Contagion to shoot up to Warner Bros’ second-most-watched flick this month.
