The funniest thing is watching all those pandemic/deadly virus movies before 2021. In all those movies, governments, people, scientists, the military and world leaders all work cooperatively together in an orderly way to solve the problem and try to save people and in the end succeed because they worked together.

In reality, we had a world leader suggest that we could inject disinfectant or use UV light inside the body, panic buying for toilet paper and people in North America start near riots for being asked to wear a mask.

It was a lot more like Jaws where the mayor won't close the beach to save lives because it will mess with the tourism business.
