This show often tries to be relevant to current political and cultural trends but here the writers tried too hard at this and just feel short. There are too many plot points and plot twists going all at once, lots of lame and repetitive jokes, the omicronians got hamfisted in the episode just because a variant was named after them in real life. And Lrrr's own son, Jrrr almost got his characterization destroyed when he spreaded online misinformation on his dad's request to make earth ready to invade. Jrrr was always a kind kid who didn't want to invade planets or kill things as established in "T: The Terrestrial" so this was somewhat out of character for him and he did that for no reason or personal gain out of seemingly just to "obey his parents" and he only had just one line in the episode. Lrrr and Ndnd are sadly flanderized beyond recognition at this point as all they do is invade planets, bicker and domestically abuse each other, and use their own son as a tool to get what they want. They were also extremely stupid as it is never a wise idea to invade a planet during a pandemic, which they had to learn the hard way. That omicronian couple should just divorce already. And omicronians invading earth has just become so overused and cliched by this point. That being said the way covid is was handled was just an absolute mess as was just plain nonsensical due to the incorporation of rage transmission, and the art of voodoo. This episode just shows that Futurama should stop trying so hard at being relevant to the 21st century and instead should just stick to original storylines.
