Kate Winslet stars as a doctor who is given the dangerous task of helping stop a deadly virus which reaches to global proportions.  Filming the Steven Soderbergh feature influences Winslet’s own approach to germs.

“As a parent, one is of course health conscious and germ conscious on behalf of our kids and it has maybe cranked it up a bit,” says Winslet.  “Not in an obsessive way, but there is a lot more hand washing that goes on and shoes on and off before going to people’s houses or before people come into our house.  I didn’t used to be quite obsessive about the shoe thing but then I definitely am now. And door handles in public restrooms, I have a problem with that these days.”
