The media reported on the prediction of the outbreak of hantavirus in the Simpsons

The Simpsons predicted an outbreak of hantavirus. This was reported on May 11 by the British newspaper The Daily Mirror.

The publication drew attention to an episode of the Simpsons animated series, which shows an outbreak of a deadly virus on a cruise ship.

It is specified that we are talking about the 19th episode of the 23rd season, released in 2012. In the story, Homer Simpson and his family embark on a sea voyage, which is interrupted by an emergency message about the spread of a dangerous virus called "Pandora".

According to The Daily Mirror, the publication appeared against the background of discussions about the hantavirus Andes and reports of a possible increase in the number of cases in the coming weeks. At the same time, there is no official confirmation of the connection between the plot of the animated series and the current epidemiological situation.
