LOGAN’S RUN
In the year 2274, residents enjoy an idyllic, hedonistic lifestyle within the protective confines of a domed city.
The general belief is that when each person turns 30, they are reincarnated for another blissful life cycle.
Those who know the much darker truth become "runners" and flee to a hidden sanctuary.
When law enforcement officer Logan (Michael York) goes undercover to locate the refuge, he winds up instead trying to initiate a revolution with runner Jenny Agutter.

NOW
Most catch the virus and die at some point after 60
Rest of the population enjoy an idyllic, hedonistic lifestyle at home
We can run in parks but not sunbath
Jenny Agutter is now a Nun

Even Dick Turpin is complaining he can't get a mask anywhere....

Apparently Dick, due to social distancing, is now holding people up on line and demanding they send money to his home address.

He's gone from stand and deliver to stand and home deliver. Bastard.

The film you all should be watching is 12 Monkeys
A classic film with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt putting in superb performances.
The background story is spookily similar (ignore the time travel bit in the future) to what is happening now. The cause of the virus being ... I won't spoil it.
