There's a lot happening on 'Grey's Anatomy' right now. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) has left, leaving much wreckage and heartbreak behind. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) has become insecure as she wonders whether the father of Amelia Shepherd's (Carerina Scorsone) baby is Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd). For some reason, that has caused her to go and sleep with Tom Koracick, for reasons she knows best.

Meanwhile, there are new injuries and wounds that doctors have to deal with. Fans are now wondering whether the medical drama will address the coronavirus pandemic that has infected several countries, leading to many, many deaths. There is much speculation on social media and you never know, the writers might just take on the challenge.

A fan tweeted, "How much you want a bet there will be a coronavirus episode on Greys?"

"I’m just waiting for @shondarhimes to write the corona virus into @GreysABC next script," tweeted a fan. 

One fan tweeted, "All I’m saying is Meredith Grey can figure out the cure for the Corona Virus!"

Another fan wished that Karev should have just been quarantined for the virus, rather than letting him have his happy ending with Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl). "Y’all should’ve had Karev quarantined for coronavirus, even that would have been a better ending."

One fan wrote that the only person who can find a vaccine for the coronavirus is Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), who left the show, six years ago. "If anyone can find a vaccine for the coronavirus it is Christina Yang. #GreysAnatomy16."

Some fans remembered the infamous way Izzy decided to save her lover's life back in Season 2, by cutting his LVAD wire. Fans were sure that she would find a way to cure the virus this time too. "If Coronavirus was on @GreysABC Izzie Stevens would cut the virus out the same way she cut Denny’s LVAD wire."

'Grey's Anatomy' airs on ABC, Thursdays at 9pm.
