YMMV / Futurama S 6 E 24 Cold Warriors

• Harsher in Hindsight: The episode's whole premise involves a virus causing a pandemic, and includes people having to self-isolate (which is enforced by authorities), a race to find a vaccine, and New New York being an epicenter for the outbreak. This episode aired 9 years before the Covid-19 pandemic. As added bonus, Bender ends up breaking the quarantine in his selfishness and helps the virus spread, which is what also happened with covid. Over a decade later, the show would have an episode, "Rage Against the Vaccine", that's based on the pandemic.
