In an episode from 1993 a virus called Osaka Flu spreads through Springfield after residents order juicers from Japan.
The claim emerged on social media after fans began posting about the similarities between the episode of the show titled ‘Marge in Chains’ and the current global outbreak.
Scenes show the juicers being packed into boxes as sick workers cough all over them – sending the virus to America.

Fans of the show took to Twitter to discuss the similarities – despite the fact the virus on The Simpsons came from Japan while the current coronavirus outbreak originated in Wuhan in China.
Some are so convinced they even took the time to edit ‘Osaka flu’ to ‘Coronavirus’ in Kent Brockman’s news report.

It comes as the number of confirmed cases in China rose to 11,791 today, surpassing the number in the 2002-03 outbreak of Sars, and the death toll rose to 259.
A total of 201 tests for coronavirus in the UK have been confirmed negative, the Department of Health said in the latest figures released this afternoon.
In Wirral, Merseyside, the 83 Britons repatriated from the crisis-hit Chinese city last night are beginning their first day in quarantine – where they will be holed up in the building at the side of Arrowe Park Hospital for 14 days.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
