‘New Amsterdam’ Flu Pandemic Episode Shelved By NBC:

In the span of a couple of weeks, NBC medical drama New Amsterdam, starring Ryan Eggold, found itself eerily blending fiction and reality amid a global pandemic. Set and shot in New York, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S., the series, created by David Schulner, had shot an upcoming episode about a deadly flu pandemic in NYC. Soon after that, a recurring guest star, Daniel Dae Kim tested positive for the coronavirus, and a writer and three New Amsterdam crew members got sick.

NBC has decided to pull the flu pandemic episode, originally titled “Pandemic” and later renamed “Our Doors Are Always Open”, which had been initially slated as the show’s next original on April 7. Instead, New Amsterdam, which will be shifting from its Tuesday 10 PM slot to the 9 PM hour vacated by This Is Us starting next week, will run repeats the next two weeks, with the last remaining produced new episode before the mass TV production shutdown airing as a season finale on April 14. (Ellen’s Game Of Games, which was supposed to air repeats at 8 PM and originals at 9 PM, will now run originals at 8 PM.) The flu pandemic episode of New Amsterdam, which has been renewed for the next three seasons, will air at a future date.

Yes the fictional, flu pandemic turned out to be too real once the COVID-19 cases became a reality.
 
"The Good Doctor" already did theirs. I forget whether it was flu but a couple of people died and Dr. Lim nearly did. That was a Christmas cliffhanger a year ago.
 
I guess no one realized what "Ultraviolet" was about when the My Network station aired it this past weekend. Although little was said about the virus. Mostly it was about a boy being used as a weapon and a possible cure for what Violet had, which appeared to be nothing more than incredible fighting ability. No one could tell she was dying.

The postponed episode had introduced a character that had to be explained. I heard they showed the character's scenes, which had nothing to do with the virus, before showing another episode he appeared in.
