Now I wonder how this graph would look like for Stephen Kings "The Stand" during the pandemic.

Did people want to read a book about a flu-like pandemic wiping out humanity or rather not?

It seems like people did. 'The Plague' and Contagion did very well.

The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol

Didn't that mode already exist in the game?
