Knowing how Matt Groening likes to foretell the future in his cartoons, let's try to find and list the similarities between the 2007 'The Simpsons Movie' and the 2020 Covid Pandemic.
I'll start...
-The Elite's priority for environmental protection over people. Shaming Springfield for being so polluted and plotting to destroy them for it. In real life, we're hearing much praise from the elite about how quarantine and less human activity is better for the environment.
-Springfield is placed under a dome, quarantined and isolated from the rest of the world.
-Tom Hanks being a PR spokesperson for the Springfield epidemic and the real-world pandemic.
-Alaska being almost unaffected.
-A dystopian celebrity president. In the movie, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger, in real life Donald Trump.
