Ian Lipkin, EcoDeath Alliance, wrote the script. They based it on "Nipah" virus. The virus began in Ipoh, a year earlier.

I enjoyed reading this, thank you for the great summation of Contagion. I also rewatched this film recently. A couple of other minor observations: there was significant focus on "transmission" of the virus. For example, close-ups of credit cards passing between people, glasses picked up, door handles, handshakes and the like. It makes me wonder very hard whether transmission of so called viruses is nothing like what is being portrayed by this film. Second, nasal vaccines are used which are kind of a novel way of delivering their payload. Perhaps humanity is yet to experience this fresh new hell as they roll out another "killer virus."
