One of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex (Texas, USA) air broadcast channels is showing this movie now, (DECADES).
If people think what was shown in this movie would not happen in real life, just look at the Ebola death in Dallas, and the two nurses infected by that same man, who went to the hospital, and was sent home... Oh, and don't forget, he lied on his intake form, and did not indicate he was newly arrived in the USA from an African country in an Ebola outbreak. When he got sicker, he was taken by ambulance to the same hospital.
Contrary to President Obama's public statement "... Ebola can't just jump on an airplane and come to America...", that is exactly how Ebola did come to Dallas, in America. The man had no symptoms when he left Africa, and he actually may not have known he helped a pregnant woman that was sick with Ebola, shortly before he left for the USA.
And for the people complaining about the technical things, I suspect it is safe to guess that the movie writers have little or no S.T.E.M. background, or they would not be movie writers, (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Then there is the fact that the movie was not a technical documentary, but an entertainment product...
If you should look into the Ebola death and nurses in Dallas, the movie could have been set there, and the disease changed from SARS to Ebola, with some other details changed. You might be frightened...
