Contextualization
After being stuck at home for many months during the COVID-19 pandemic, people had to adjust to only seeing each other online over Zoom. Zoom was used for work, school, talking to people and so on. No one knew what the long term impacts of this kind of isolation would have. This YouTube video briefly predicts what would happen to students once everything is back in person.

This disease was quick to take the lives of millions of people and overpopulate hospitals to the point of their supplies diminishing.
