The Spring Festival of 2020, with the spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia and the national response to epidemic prevention and control, is particularly different from the festive and lively previous years. Less crowded celebrations, fewer groups of relatives and friends, less bustling travel, and people across the country staying at home to fight the plague that was worse than SARS in 2003.
"If we can lock down Wuhan, cancel all temple fairs in the country, close all scenic spots, remove all New Year movies, and guard hundreds of cities and empty alleys across the country, the epidemic must be more serious than we can imagine..."
The evil of this plague is that the incubation period is long, even if infected with the virus may not have symptoms, but the incubation period and the symptomatic carriers of the virus are contagious, and the symptoms of the infected people vary from person to person, and may be more severe than the symptoms of the infected, and the virus does not have a predisposing population tendency in terms of demographic characteristics such as gender and age. As a result, we simply cannot tell whether the people we come into contact with are the source of the virus, whether we have been infected with the virus, and if we do have the virus, the severity of the disease.
Therefore, in response to the call of the national epidemic prevention and control, staying at home and not going out is indeed the most effective protection and responsibility for yourself, your family and friends, and society. Any person, if he takes protection lightly, is likely to make himself the one who is recruited, and thus implicate family, friends and society, and even aggravate the outbreak of the epidemic and prolong the epidemic period. Families with the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and patients with underlying medical conditions should pay special attention to prevention. Don't let luck and blind optimism and self-confidence become a source of regret after real accidents in the future...
In fact, staying at home for a while is not bad. A busy and impetuous life, but it takes a period of time to slow down and calm down to moderate adjustment. At home, there are also many meaningful things that usually have no time or heart to do. "Boredom" is not a kind of yin and yang opportunity and perfection ~ ~
Here, the author deliberately collected 15 films related to the epidemic with a Douban score of more than 6 points, or popular science, or reproduction of history, or revealing human nature, or stimulating the senses... Taking advantage of the epidemic period and "boredom", you may wish to take a look at these theme movies that may not be very interesting on weekdays and seem to be very far away from your own life, and see if there is a more or less sense of substitution and enlightenment?
The films are sorted by the release time, some of the films are more thriller, please choose carefully to watch ~

The city's riches depended on international trade and gold and silver wealth, but also on the people living together at home and abroad: Christians, Converted Jews, Baptized Moors, Slaves, Freed Slaves, Tramps, Thieves, Prostitutes, Nobles, Commoners. At the same time, inequality, famine and infectious diseases make up the dark side of the city. In an outbreak of the Black Death, several prominent members of Sevillian society were killed.
