Really! Did the Simpsons predict the Coronavirus spread?

The answer is a spoiler. No, the Simpsons did not predict the new coronavirus pandemic. The images refer to Episode 21 of Season 4 of the show, “Marge in Chains”. This episode, shown back in 1993, does not show or refer to Coronavirus but about the fictional disease “Osaka Flu”. Images on social media have been edited to make it look like the episode was about coronavirus.

Most of the posts feature four images. Three of them are authentic. A fourth edited image shows Springfield’s anchor Kent Brockman presenting the news in his studio. The image has been edited, adding the words “CORONA VIRUS” to the screen.
