I can't watch this kind of thing while it's still ongoing. We're already so bombarded by it in everyday life, I'm not gonna actively make the choice to watch a documentary about how everything is garbage and the people in charge don't give a shit about anyone.

this seems waaaay too soon, there's still so much we don't know. i get wanting to capture the moment, but this will be completely irrelevant in like a few months.

Looking at the release date, I 100% think this was timed to influence the election. Which is pointless because people already know Trump was aware how dangerous COVID was from the Woodward tapes, his voters just don't care and just won't watch something like this. Tone deaf all the way around.

How the hell is there already a doc on the pandemic when it’s not even over lol

I just can't imagine, of all the options of things to watch right now, you'd pick...this.

In the middle of it all, yet.
