Meredith Gray would she have found THE solution to the coronavirus? More than once, fiction has preceded or been inspired by reality. In February, the soap More beautiful life revealed an intrigue around an epidemic similar to that of the coronavirus. There is no doubt that the cinema and the small screen could well treat the global pandemic like Grey's Anatomy, when filming can resume. If nothing has been confirmed yet, Ellen Pompeo said she was thinking about an episode on the Covid-19.
Asked by the magazine Variety on the subject, the star of the series created by Shonda Rhimes and broadcast for the first time in 2005, explained that there is "thought". While the United States is now the country most affected by the virus in the world (with nearly 700,000 cases declared and more than 34,000 dead on Thursday, April 16, 2020), the 50-year-old actress and producer points out “éOf course, we don't want to get too political ”. However, she adds : “I saw a clip of Barack Obama in 2014, saying that a pandemic is inevitable and that we should be prepared for it. The fact that five years later we are not prepared … some people have dropped in the process. It's disappointing".
The one who has put on a white blouse for almost fifteen years to interpret the most famous surgeon on the small screen, wanted to pay tribute to all the caregivers by deploring "The fact that they are fighting this fight without the proper equipment is really heartbreaking." To try to help them, the producers of medical series Grey's Anatomy The Good Doctor, The Resident or Station 19 submitted their medical filming accessories at the end of March: “At Station 19, we have around 300 N95 masks in stock which we have delivered to local barracks. And at Grey's Anatomy, we have a stock of blouses and gloves that we will also donate, " said producer Krista Vernoff. For the time being, the filming of the sixteenth season of Grey's Anatomy has been suspended in order to comply with strict rules to combat the spread of coronavirus.
