These were the catchphrases printed on marketing poster of a movie Contagion, released in September 2011. Starring beloved Hollywood stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet, the movie focused on an unknown infectious disease creating a global crisis. A woman, who came back from a business trip to Hong Kong, abruptly experiences seizure and dies. Soon after, people who had been in contact with the woman show similar symptoms and die, unfolding dramatic conflicts and chaos.
Presumable by the poster¡¯s catchphrase, the infectious disease portrayed in the movie spreads through people by touch. People get infected by handing a credit card
