ACCURATE

I’m seeing a lot of “How X characters would respond to the Coronavirus” posts but I haven’t seen one from my all-time favorite show Community yet so here goes:

Jeff: Blows the whole thing off for the first several weeks and mocks everyone else for overreacting. Until the company that produces his favorite skin cream is forced to close down over virus concerns and in being forced to deal with his aging skin he’s confronted with his own mortality and suddenly becomes extremely hypochondriac about the whole thing.

Britta: Gives everyone a bunch of horribly inaccurate medical advice that she swears is from the CDC but she actually Britta’d the Google search and ended up on an antivaxxer conspiracy website.

Annie: Does extensive prep work for the shutdowns, including spreadsheets outlining peak items to purchase and where to get them. Begins rationing squares of toilet paper early on. Takes social distancing very seriously and insists that everyone carries sticks to maintain the appropriate 6 foot radius.

Shirley: Insists that this is the end of days and her friends must get right with the Lord before it’s too late. Thoughtfully sews personalized, monogramed face masks for the Study Group.

Pierce: Will definitely not stop calling it the China Virus and has in fact come up with several, even more offensive nicknames.

Abed:  Spends a lot of time trying to figure out which apocalypse movie the situation is most like. Frequently calls out which characters from these movies each of his friends is acting like at any given moment, much to their irritation. Also works on some sweet customized hazmat gear with Troy.

Troy: Is completely convinced the the virus is related to Corona beer and that in fact there must be corresponding viruses for each other major beer brand. He figures that’s why his Jehovah’s Witness parents didn’t want him drinking.

Chang: Insists that he’s immune from the virus because he has the “Changtedote” but he isn’t sharing with anybody. Says he’s been systematically mixing his Chinese blood with bat blood for years now for such a time as this.

Dean Pelton: Is really stressed about Greendale having to go to online learning because the school’s computer system hasn’t been updated since 1986 and they don’t even have Wi-Fi because the budget to update the system was spent printing “It’s Corona Time” t-shirts after a memo misunderstanding. He announces this at a large assembly before realizing that it’s violating social distance guidelines.

My Movie - Cast & Plot

It’s GOT to have Ellen Page, definitely Zoey Deschanel, and most likely Jennifer Garner. That red head from Jumanji will dance-fight someone at least twice. For men, eh maybe just like Joseph Gordon-Levitt to fall in love with Zoey’s character and maybe like Jason Bateman to play the lame older guy who can barely keep up who does something heroic at some point while Jen’s character is watching. Oh, also Matthew Perry for some comedic relief. Oh, did I mention this is an apocalyptic break-the-fourth-wall type rom-com where everybody dies in the end at the same time, but they know how long they have to live before that so they just kinda make the most of it. So like you see each of them work through their decisions and like the philosophy behind how they spend the rest of their time but they also tell jokes and have a good time and it’s somehow heartwarming despite everyone dying. I’m pitching this to Netflix; no, this is too good for Netflix.
