ITV receives 160 Ofcom complaints by airing outbreak film Contagion during coronavirus pandemic
One person said: "No Contagion should have been on ITV not ITV 2. Or put on BBC. 1. Some saying "not appropriate". Are you f***ing kidding? A greater public health warning you couldn't wish for."
Another added: "For those crying that ITV showed #Contagion, an epidemiologist* tried to warn people in 2006 of this. He was laughed at and called a scaremonger. He then helped create the movie. Maybe some of you will now take heed. *His name is Larry Brilliant." In the movie, Gwyneth Paltrow's character Beth Emhoff character contracts the new illness and dies four days later - along with her sons.
