Para dokter di Grey Sloan Memorial telah bertarung dengan pandemi virus corona sepanjang musim, tetapi episode kemarin malam mengingatkan momen personal yang dirasakan penggemar terkait meninggalnya orang-orang tersayang akibat virus COVID-19 tahun ini. Ibunda dari Miranda Bailey meninggal akibat COVID-19 pada akhir episode kemarin, dalam sebuah adegan yang memberi kesan sangat dalam. Setelah itu, acara tersebut memberikan penghormatan kepada nyawa-nyawa yang hilang akibat COVID-19 tahun ini dan para penggemar sangat mengapresiasi pilihan tersebut.
Poin penting bahwa mereka yang meninggal selama pandemi virus corona bukanlah sebuah angka statistik yang ditampilkan sepanjang episode, dan Miranda bahkan membicarakannya dalam voiceover. Orang-orang harus ingat akan kehidupan yang telah mereka jalani dan orang-orang yang mereka cintai. Ketika acara tersebut perlahan memutar daftar nama-nama korban meninggal selama pandemi, para penggemar sangat sedih tetapi mengapresiasi keputusan tersebut. Bahkan membuat penggemar serial Grey’s Anatomy semakin marah karena banyak orang di dunia nyata yang tidak menganggap virus corona ini serius. Inilah beberapa reaksi mereka.
This was a beautiful episode, especially the ending. To some people Covid-19 fatalities are just numbers, these numbers are people - people who belonged to people. #greysanatomy

"Patients are more than a statistic...even at their death." #GreysAnatomy this week's episode hit home hard! We've gotten so numb to the #COVID death toll numbers that we forget the human side to all the tragedy. Protect yourselves! 😷

Seeing the credits to #greysanatomy roll as names of some of the people that have died of COVID makes me absolutely irate that people treat it like it’s an inconvenience to wear a cloth over their mouths. Don’t call yourself pro life. You disgust me. #WearAMask

Seeing this at the end of an emotional episode made me even more angry that people continue to think #COVID isn’t real and ignore the simple things we’re being asked to do. If you are pro life and have this mindset, do me a favor and never speak to me #GreysAnatomy pic.twitter.com/n825rbsbMW

people who have died from covid are not nameless faceless statistics, they’re mothers, children, spouses and deserve to be respected, they deserve to know they’re loved and to be honored and remembered #greysanatomy pic.twitter.com/Z2VnOgNEXf

Serial ini berhasil menampilkan situasi pandemi secara nyata (dan baik) sepanjang musim. Episode malam lalu menjadi pengingat yang baik akan situasi yang mempertaruhkan nyawa banyak orang. Jadi diam di rumah, kenakan masker, dan jaga keselamatan semua orang! Miranda Bailey pun mengatakan demikian.
