100 things I learned from Flu


1) Koreans are so organized that you can find any person any time in an underground, bunker-like quarantine area.
2) Not only living persons, but also the bodies of small children who turn out to also miraculously be living, besides being practically Patient Zero in the outbreak.
3) If you are a gorgeous doctor, you will understand that there is no need to cover your face to protect yourself in the second half of the film. Not when your symptomatic daughter is literally coughing in your mouth, not when you are sent to examine patients in the contagion unit.
4) Apparently, the Bundang (spelling?) province possesses many football field-sized landfills just waiting to be filled with bodies, individually wrapped in plastic.
5) Infrastructure will immediately provide cranes, bulldozers, staff, etc, to maintain this landfill.
6) The only thing safer than leaving your pre-schooler alone overnight, is leaving her repeatedly in the care of a strange man with whom you have an oddly and unwarranted antagonistic relationship.
7) Apparently, movie Koreans just go around sticking guns in the faces of random civilians to keep order - but the US is really the masterminding bad guy.
8) It is no problem to walk back and forth between contaminated and uncontaminated areas in a militarized quarantine area.
9) Locking people in a mall is a good first step towards quarantining a population possibly suffering from an unknown contagion.
10) A wealthy, democratic, first-world country like Korea is incapable of handling its citizens humanely in the outbreak of a treatable (it turns out) illness.
11) Infected blood with antibodies can be injected directly into another person with almost instantaneous healing results.

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

I have nothing to add to this but reading that was one of the most hilarious things ever. These were all the same silly things I was questioning throughout the entire film. Thanks for making my lunch break enjoyable!
