Movies I’ve Watched During the Pandemic, Ranked

I feel like talking about something non-coronavirus related on the blog today. So let’s talk movies.

Reminder: None of Us Know How to Live in a Pandemic

None of us know how to live during a pandemic. It’s true. Even those really old people you read about in articles who miraculously survived both the Spanish Flu of 1918 and COVID-19 don’t know how to live in a pandemic because they were just little babies during the Spanish Flu. This is a new experience for all of us.
