Dr. Ellis Cheever: Someone doesn't have to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that.

Continuity mistake: When a guy brings flowers to mourn for Mitch's wife, he is in the kitchen, stands up and runs to the door. When the angle changes, a frame later, he repeats all the previous movements.
Trivia: Contagion got various accolades for its authenticity, being "very well fact checked compared to most science blockbusters", according to New Scientist. The screenwriter did months of research, enlisting the help of epidemiologists who edited the script and guided the actors.
