Surely there's nothing more natural than wanting to watch a movie about a pandemic during a pandemic? As the coronavirus sees the world lock itself down in full, and people self-isolate at home for fear of contracting or spreading Covid-19, here's how the truly thick-skinned can watch Contagion online – all your streaming options for the film are explained below, so you can uncomfortably blur the lines between fact and fiction from anywhere in the world.
Unfortunately, Contagion is not currently available to stream on Netflix in many countries, but there are plenty of great Netflix movies you can watch while self-isolating – including Outbreak, a 1995 medical disaster film that should provide equally uncomfortable viewing right now.
A couple of exceptions are Netflix Canada and now Netflix UK, which do feature the movie in their line-up and let you watch Contagion online or on your TV if you subscribe to the service. For Canadian or UK Netflix subscribers still abroad, you need not fear, as downloading a VPN allows you to use the service just like you back home.
We'll explain how all that works in more detail below.
•Got kids? Here's how to watch Onward right now
Hopefully, most people are safely at home and following their government guidance on social interaction during these difficult times. However, if you do find yourself out of your country for whatever reason, you'll likely be desperate to access the streaming services you normally use at home. You may not be able to, though, because of geo-blocking restrictions.
Fortunately, there's an easy solution. Downloading a VPN will allow you to watch Contagion no matter where you are. This simple bit of software changes your IP address so that you can keep streaming movies and TV shows from all over the world.
While there are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, we always recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, simple, and straightforward to install, it's also compatible with a whole host of devices - Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android to name some of the main ones.
Plus, ExpressVPN's flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to argue with. Even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant offer for an essential bit of software.
Once installed, select the location of your home country and simply click connect. You’ll then be able to easily watch Contagion from pretty much anywhere in the world.
•Something less serious? Why not watch Emma online instead?
Your options for streaming Contagion in the US are limited as its rights are owned by premium cable network Cinemax. The good news is that Cinemax is available as an add-on for Hulu - and the most basic Hulu plans start from just $5.99 a month. There's even a FREE 1-month trial on offer, and if you like it, you can take advantage of combined Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for just $12.99 a month, giving you all the content you need to see you through self-isolation.
Beyond that, you can rent or buy Contagion online from iTunes and Amazon Prime Video, where it costs $3.99 and $9.99, respectively. Alternatively, existing Cinemax subscribers can make use of the channel's companion streaming service, which is called Max Go.
Remember, as per our guide above, if you find yourself out of the country, you can use clever software like ExpressVPN to watch Contagion just as if you were at home.

Contagion has finally turned up on UK Netflix, so if you already subscribe to the service then you can start watching the Hollywood horror unfold straight away on any Netflix compatible device.
Not yet a subscriber? The Basic tier costs £5.99 per month, Standard comes in at £8.99 a month, which cranks things up to HD, while the Premium tier costs £11.99 with the ability to stream on four screens at once and up to Ultra HD quality.
If you don't want to sign up to Netflix just to watch this film. It costs £3.49 to rent or £5.99 to buy in HD from Amazon Prime, while the likes of iTunes, Google Play, Chili and YouTube also offer it for sale.
If you're currently stuck in or out of the UK, remember you can access all the normal services you would at home by using a VPN.
Unfortunately, Contagion isn't available on any of the big Australian streaming services right now.
Instead, you can only watch Contagion in Australia by renting or buying it through an outlet like Google Play, iTunes or Microsoft Store. It costs $4.99 for a limited time rental or $14.99 to digitally buy Contagion outright.
If, however, you already you'd rather be able to stream it on a service like Netflix, then you can watch Contagion by using a VPN.
