Movie Moles Jan Haaken and Denise Morris talk about "Contagion," the 2011 film directed by Steven Soderbergh about a deadly worldwide virus outbreak that has generated a huge upsurge in public interest in recent weeks.  The film has been praised for its medical authenticity and its eerie prescience in forecasting some of the pathways of the corona pandemic.
