Here's an interesting video ; Apparently Asterix comic books and The Simpsons
predicted the epidemic:

Did Asterix comics predict the Coronavirus outbreak - Wikipedia:


"The book received renewed media attention in 2020 amid the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic because the charioteer favored to win the race goes by the name Coronavirus.[3]"

Spooky coincidences?

No.

Coronavirus was a thing before covid, this is just a strand of coronavirus.

Vauge similarities do not count as “predictions” a prediction would be Sneed staring at the camera and saying “in the year 2020 there will be a worldwide pandemic caused by a fancy Chinese virus which will shut down most of the world and people will go into hiding to avoid the virus. They’re government will not allow them to get park avenue manicures or buy gucci loafers. ”

Yeah, no.

Half these references that "predicted the future" are connected to something else. For instance, the episode in the future where Lisa was president, she mentions the country going completely broke because of President Trump - a whole 16 years before Trump won the White House. I believe what they were making reference to was his failed 2000 run at the presidency and nothing else.
