It's difficult to get away from all the Corona Virus (Covid-19) TV news discussions.
Yet, I really don't understand with all the panic or fear in the world...why are TV networks and cable channels recently running a lot of Zombie movies and End of the World Movies ?
Seems very tasteless in my opinion and maybe helping to spread panic / fear.
Solution is easy...don't watch it and that puts me back on the regular TV channels that are full of real-time Corona Virus alerts. Simply, can not turn that off because I'm dependent upon the local alerts about shut downs, closures and such.
For example, I got the alert via the TV during the afternoon that my kids schools were closing prior to the schools notifying the parents via email. Thus, I was able to show up early to the school to pick up my kids prior to them boarding the school bus and prior to the crowd of other parents showing up that got their alerts directly from the school via email.
Another situation, I got my alerts by the TV about the new pharmacy hours and closures of non-essential stores / services. Also, got my alerts via the TV about the hospital cancelling schedule appointments for "none critical" services (e.g. annual physical).
I actually saw some parents "running" with panic on their faces as if there was an active shooter. Another example, I remember several parents going thru red lights near the school just so that they can get there a minute early.
Literally within 1 - 2 days after what I saw on the streets...I notice the tone or increasing change in the type of movies on TV. Movies not being run late at night but in the morning, afternoon...basically most of the day.
Yeah, these are movies I've seen before the past 30 years but to see so many of them in such a very short time span (March) is somewhat strange. Thus, I have not seen so many Zombie movies or End of the World movies in the month of March in comparison to the past.
Not sure about Netflix because I'm no longer a subscriber as of a few years ago but I would suspect they've too have increased their number of Zombie like movies or End of the World movies.
If not...congrats to Netflix for not taking advantage of the situation to promote movies like that in the worst possible situation.
P.S. I'm now worried about the people wearing long trench coats in grocery stores as if they're carrying a weapon underneath. Not sure if they're there to buy groceries, rob the place or preparing for a mass shooting.
