The talking heads involved were sent a camera dubbed \u201cthe Covid Cam\u201d so they could be recorded and interviewed safely. Working with co-directors Ophelia Harutyunyan and Suzanne Hillinger, Gibney uses this footage to explore how the current COVID-19 pandemic unfolded over the past 10 months. It\u2019s practically an up-to-the-minute investigation\u2014one day after it was finished, the leader of the current administration tested positive for this movie\u2019s subject. That was two weeks ago. The filmmakers resist the temptation to gloat or express schadenfreude. It should be noted, however, that over 30 politicians and military figures were also infected at the same event.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>As of this writing, over 200,000 Americans have died from this disease, with a thousand new cases h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening every day. The country is getting hit the way my NYC-area brethren and I were pummeled earlier this year. We know a lot more about the virus than we did back in March when my area shut down in quarantine, yet the situation has gotten no better. In fact, it appears to be worse, with warnings that this latest surge is just the tip of the iceberg for America and much of Europe. In the timeframe covered by \u201cTotally Under Control,\u201d seven million Americans have already sickened by the virus, a hundred thousand small businesses have closed down and hundreds of thousands of people are out of work, with many worried about eviction and the lack of healthcare. Meanwhile, Congress is currently more concerned with a Supreme Court nominee than the survival of the American people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That Congress isn\u2019t dragged for its lack of action is one of the more frustrating aspects of this film. In fact, we don\u2019t see a single Senator or Representative outside of a rare moment where they\u2019re hearing testimony from the people who guide us through the documentary. But I think Gibney\u2019s intention is to simply provide an organized timeline for the events leading up to the present day, starting with the first documented case in Seattle back in January. As we traverse the timeline, we\u2019re also given details about how South Korea handled its cases and the resulting differences between them and us. <em>LA Times<\/em>\u2019 Seoul correspondent Victoria Kim and Hong Kong native Caroline Chen are on hand to offer commentary.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, we\u2019re not told anything we didn\u2019t already know about what\u2019s happening in America, though we are privy to a fleshing out of the details. The film\u2019s most basic explanation is that this pandemic has become a political football, a battle between <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> and those who choose loyalty over facts. It becomes a pitch-black running joke whenever a scientist\u2019s explanation is im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely preceded, or followed, by you-know-who parroting wishful thinking ideas about how this disease is going to go away by itself. \u201cWe\u2019ve got it totally under control,\u201d he says at least six times in Presidential appearances.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Watching \u201cTotally Under Control\u201d you really get the sense that the powers that be really don\u2019t give a damn that there\u2019s a thousand new cases a day, nor that masks have become a symbol of patriotism only if you don\u2019t wear them. There\u2019s a very likely theory for the apathetic response: the disease is most deadly toward people of color, those with pre-existing conditions and the elderly. \u201cWhen America gets the flu, Black folks get pneumonia,\u201d says the University of Virginia\u2019s Covid ICU director, Dr. Taison Bell, quoting his grandmother (and my own beloved Mama). The disease also takes a mental toll on the people in Dr. Bell\u2019s profession, fellow practitioners and nurses who are seen begging for extra masks and medical equipment at the height of hospital overcrowding back in March and April. This is the first time masks are used as political currency; governors are forced to bid on supplies only to be outbid by the federal government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gibney has assembled a wide variety of people with something important and insightful to say, including several who paid dearly for breaking with the administration\u2019s marketing message to tell the truth. Former BARDA director Rick Bright, former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden and other medical professionals lead us through protocols and e-mail threads from way back in January when a lot of things were correctly predicted. We also hear from Beth Cameron of Obama\u2019s administration and Mike Bowen, who gives invaluable information about how the N95 mask shortage occurred. Other people of note are Max Kennedy, a 20-year-old volunteer from the medical equipment procurement team and, to my surprise, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, proponent of the hydroxychloroquine cocktail that the FDA touted earlier in the year. For the math junkies in the audience, there\u2019s Dr. Eva Lee, whose pandemic-inspired mathematical models are fascinating and eerily prescient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTotally Under Control\u201d will become a useful document for the study of this pandemic in its eventual aftermath. It\u2019s a bit too surface-level to be completely satisfying, but it was enough to overwhelm and upset me so much that I had to turn it off several times to decompress. I had good reasons: I\u2019ve lost several friends and family to the &#8216;rona, as my people nicknamed it, and many other family members have been infected. It\u2019s the reason why I can\u2019t see my parents, why I couldn\u2019t attend funerals, and why I\u2019m pretty much a prisoner in my own home where, thankfully, I can still work at a job I hope I don\u2019t lose. Granted, I\u2019m not sure how much differently things would be had a lot of the ideas depicted here been followed, instead of tossed into the wind out of fear of one person\u2019s ego. But I am damn sure that I\u2019d at least have an idea how much longer I\u2019d have to endure this hell if they had been.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Odie Henderson\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/odie-henderson\/featured_odie_vienna.jpg\" title=\"Odie Henderson\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Odie_Henderson\"><\/span>Odie Henderson<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Odie &#8220;Odienator&#8221; Henderson has spent over 33 years working in Information <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a>.
