Contagion (film)

"Someone doesn't have to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that."

"We're working very hard to find out where this virus came from. To treat it and to vaccinate against it if we can. We don't know all of that yet, we just don't know. What we do know, is that in order to become sick you have to first come in contact with a sick person or something that they touched. In order to get scared, all you have to do is to come in contact with a rumor, or the television or the internet. I think what Mr. Krumwiede is uh... is spreading, is far more dangerous than the disease."

"You know where this comes from, shaking hands? It was a way of showing a stranger you weren't carrying a weapon in the old days. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm."

"The average person touches their face 2- or 3000 times a day. Three to five times every waking minute. In between, we're touching doorknobs, water fountains, elevator buttons, and each other. Those things become fomites."

"How fast it multiplies depends on a variety of factors. The incubation period, how long a person is contagious. Sometimes people can be contagious without even having symptoms."

"Somewhere in the world, the wrong pig met up with the wrong bat."

"It's a bad day to be a rhesus monkey."

"[about the virus] Godzilla, King Kong, Frankenstein all in one."

"Dr. Ian Sussman: [Disparagingly to Alan] Blogging is not writing. It's just graffiti with punctuation."

"Jory Emhoff: [Rhetorically] Why can't they invent a shot that keeps time from passing?"

"Nothing spreads like fear."

"Don't talk to anyone. Don't touch anyone."

"No one is immune to fear."
