I ignore the ratings because it's up to personal preferences. Most reviews are made by movie critics that subtract points on almost everything. I don't care about that stuff. If it looks interesting, I'll watch it.
Critics get it wrong from time to time, but more often than not I find myself enjoying highly rated films and disliking low rated. The outliers are blockbusters who can afford to pay for reviews while making a movie just mediocre enough to score way higher than what it deserves (Marvel is the big one for this), and kids movies.
You see it occasionally with action (Boondocks Saints/Equilibrium), Comedy {Grandmas Boy/Super Troopers) or various other genres, but they're usually pretty on point.
I mostly just use them to temper expectations. I usually make my own guess based on a trailer and who's working on the film, so sometimes seeing a super low RT/IMDB score will help me enjoy it a bit more by lowering expectations. A super high rating doesn't do much for me lol, but I'll go in feeling confident about my original assessment.
Anyway, what'd you rate this one? Not sure I care enough to watch a pandemic film lol, but I'm always looking for new stuff.
