Disease Expert Breaks Down Pandemic Scenes From Film & TV
โ
This is a great scene breakdown of pandemic movies by a CDC expert.
What Brian Amman had to say about procedures and equipment was enlightening. I’ll bet this guy has been called up numerous times since making this video to act as a consultant.

Brian hit on my personal pet peeve: viruses can’t turn someone into a zombie in seconds.
Just because we don’t know everything doesn’t mean we don’t know anything
When critiquing something in science fiction you sometimes run into this counter argument: “Well, scientists don’t know everything,ย so this might be possible.” Which is a valid argument in some cases, unless they violate fundamental laws of physics. And a virus that turns someone into a zombie in seconds definitely does so.
Soapbox
A virus has to be carried by the bloodstream from one cell to another. Therefore, the lower bound on how fast a virus could infect someone has to be limited by the rate of diffusion through the body. (This is around 45 seconds.) However, as Brian pointed out, the viruses first need to get into a cell, take over the cellular machinery for copying genes, and start replicating. That takes time. It also takes energy.
For a virus to spread that fast would involve a stupendous consumption of cellular energy (ATP). Any reactions that happened that quickly would heat the body to the point of combustion โ zombie nova. ๐
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If youโre like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, youโll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether thatโs to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. Thereโs nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out thatโs all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. ๐
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
