http://www.webmd.com/content/article/121/114487.htm ...ABC's Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America is fiction. It presents a worst-of-worst-cases scenario of what might happen in a pandemic of deadly, highly contagious bird flu. Could what happens in the movie really take place? Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council of Foreign Relations, was a script consultant for the movie (at her request, her name does not appear in the movie credits). She's seen an advance screening. "The film is very grim. But I don't think it is sensationalistic," Garrett tells WebMD. "I didn't think they exaggerated, but it is a worst-case scenario. A virulent, highly contagious flu comes to America. There is no viable vaccine on tap. The drugs have limited or no efficacy. There are shortages of essential supplies and goods that become acute later in the epidemic..."
