Yeah, there’s not a big pandemic going on and thousands, better yet, millions, billions of people all over the world catching the virus, forcing the whole world to quarantine. I think TVFactFan was trying to say that Brooklyn Nine Nine might’ve made a prediction.

There were disease outbreaks and pandemics in 2017. They just weren't worldwide. I don't think that idea was that far-fetched. People have been saying there could be a worldwide pandemic for years. Nobody was prepared for it.

There was also the 2011 film Contagion that seems eerily accurate.

The Simpsons has predicted or foreshadowed actual events in the future many times.

Yeah it was strange and I don’t even watch Brooklyn Nine Nine like that. Brooklyn Nine Nine went The Simpsons there for a minute.

We're lucky the Covid-19 Pandemic in the real world isn't as bad as the Pandemic in Contagion. For example in Contagion, the Pandemic by day 18 had already been circling the U.S and causing Riots and Shutdowns. The Covid-19 Pandemic on day 18 was still majorly only affecting China and U.S was still majorly safe. We wouldn't get majorly affected until about March 13 when the Shutdowns began to start. Riots didn't start until about May 26th and that was Public outrage over George Floyd's death. I honestly predicted that there would be Country Wide Riots like two months before George Floyd's death, but I thought the Country Wide Riots would be against the Government for the Mandatory Shutdowns and subsequent loss of income even for HEALTHY People who didn't and won't get Covid-19 and could have worked.
I got the Prediction right, but the reason wrong.
