Covid and pop culture

 Just like how people make jokes about depression, rescission, and even school shootings to help people get through fear and tough times, people have made ways to make Covid 19 and quarantine less scary. Some of the ways are through making tiktok’s, youtube videos, and memes. One example that I will share that is from the US is called Host, Host: Follows 5-6 people who are trying to cope with the recent lockdown and isolation. In order to spice up the weekly zoom calls, they hire a spiritual guide/ medium who is going to help them do a virtual sayiance. Of course things go south and they end up letting a demon into their lives and said demon kills them off 1 by 1. What I find most interesting is the different internal conflicts of the movie. For example there is a couple who have been physically separated due to the pandemic and they both want to move in together but don't want to make an in the moment decision.
