Yeah it’s a staple of science fiction. Remember all of the outbreak type of movies in the 90s? Viruses, deadly bacteria, ever see the Andromeda Strain? The Stand? It is one of the top 10 doomsday scenarios for at least two different genres of fiction. Disaster stories, science fiction, medical mysteries, there are a number of genres that employ viruses, deadly bacteria, contagion, there are movies, books, short stories, games, TV shows, every single year about these topics. And coronaviruses have been around for as long as anyone can remember. And does anyone think Donald Trump was the one that came up with HCQ? It’s the reason why tonic water (gin and tonic) was so popular in British India, the quinine stopped malaria and other issues. I credit him for bringing it forward after the French used it rather extensively even if experimentally to deal with colds and viruses before. But the fact that it appeared in a television show is not significant in anyway. People have written about the possibilities for decades. The idea that this is significant in any way is just embarrassing. The right has been destroyed by paranoid schizophrenics.
