When COVID was announced, the American population started to panic and everyone was in quarantine. I also witnessed that during COVID there was a shortage of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The same thing happens in “Oedipus the King”, the people were worried about the virus. In contrast people were blaming China for the cause of COVID, just like Oedipus blames Tiresias and Creon for making plans without his consent. The people of Thebes saw the virus as a curse while we saw this as a virus. COVID has affected everyone as we were in quarantine for a while. People were questioning when the virus will be over and when will everything go back to the way they were. COVID was one of the big things that has happened to all of us. Once we were all out of quarantine after a while, things slowly start going back to normal again.

Hello John i agree with you everyone panicked, and we all had to stay at home, just like in “Oedipus the King,” where people were scared of the plague we ran out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer and we blamed China and Oedipus blamed Tiresias and Creon. Very similar how the us the people behave just like in “Oedipus the King,”.
