I noticed this while listening to music, but it seems to be similar in other media such as twitch streams. You would think that such an important would be mentioned a lot because it affects everyone, but it seems to be strongly avoided.

Hey, so I discovered this Australian show Retrograde today. It's a show that was done under Covid, filmed via Zoom apparently. Haven't watched it but I guess it's proper Coronavirus show. Actually, it's reminded me that a couple of podcasts and the like have popped up because of the lockdown. They don't always talk about the pandemic explicitly but that's why they are doing this. Here is just one example from Garry of The Dollop with his mom: PAMdemic but it's not really media as fiction I guess.
