Ah.  Here in New Orleans, we've seen it already:

 

Elia Kazan's Panic in the City:

One night in the New Orleans slums, vicious hoodlum Blackie and his friends kill an illegal immigrant who won too much in a card game. Next morning, Dr. Clint Reed (a.k.a. Billy Robinson) of the Public Health Service confirms the dead man had pneumonic plague. To prevent a catastrophic epidemic, Clint must find and inoculate the killers and their associates, with the reluctant aid of police captain Tom Warren, despite official skepticism, and in total secrecy, lest panic empty the city. Can a doctor turn detective? He has 48 hours to try...

 

Tonight I'll play sound clips from the movie between songs.  Hey, since we don't have any hurricanes to panic about, let's do the Chicken Little Dance to the biggest non-threat in the US's history - Ebola.
