Contagion (2011)

Gene Bryant: Reporter

Quotes 

• Reporter : Dr. Cheever, are you concerned that the CDC faces a credibility issue here after the perceived overreaction to H1N1?

  Dr. Ellis Cheever : I'd rather the news story be that we overreacted than that many people lost their lives because we didn't do enough. That's why we're here. It's also why the World Health Organization is sending an epidemiologist to Hong Kong. It's hard to know what it is without knowing where it came from. So our first job with these things is always to find ground zero. Figure out how it jumped into the population. We do know that a patient in Minnesota traveled to that part of the world.
