CONTAGION: NOT JUST A MOVIE

If you’re not a germ-a-phobe already, you might become one if see the new movie “Contagion,” the story of a fast-spreading, deadly, worldwide epidemic spread by a single touch. The science thriller remains fiction, so far. But there’s a real movie that will give you a fright too. “Contagion: Not Just a Movie,” produced by Family Values @ Work, tells the story of how flu epidemics can spread. During the H1N1 outbreak, 7 million Americans caught the flu from their co-workers— in part because so many hard-working people without paid sick days were unable to stay home sick without being fired or losing a day’s wage.
