That's a line from a dystopia tv series about a virus that's killing off humanity. One person is infected in a highly unusual way. He is healthy but for him the virus is like something out of a superhero movie. He's a sort of human bioweapon and the virus has a level of mind control. He had been fighting to save people but because his mind has become more and more poisoned over time - he has that new philosophy. And - of course - it's the way covid ghouls think about covid.

Huge spoiler

I'm watching a dubbed version but I assume that line of dialog is the same in the original. The series is in Danish and that season was first broadcast in August, 2020.

I've given a huge spoiler and I think the series is serviceable at best but if you're still interested...

The Rain (TV Series 2018-2020)

After a brutal virus wipes out most of the population, two young siblings embark on a perilous search for safety.

    I had super-low expectations but I'm a sucker for dystopia so I couldn't resist. I expected some cheesiness and ridiculousness and that stuff didn't bother me much. What really annoys me is how superhero-like storytelling is a - cough - pandemic that's infected so many other genres. Sigh.

    A positive thing is that I grew to love how she can't stop saying her brother's name: "Rasmus - what are you doing!" One character using another character's name all the time is only good in comedies but the b-movie-like reality of The Rain made it work. It also it also silly reminder me of the brother-sister relationship in Schitt's Creek: "David! What are you doing!"

        The cast was surprisingly good. It's a shame they had to work with dialog and act in a plot that were so weak, generic, and formulaic.

          Indeed, it didn't help that I watched Dark around the same time and vibed much more heavily with that though.
