This 'joke' with online infection is gone too far, isn't it? When everyone is in panic despite they tryna not to show it, this one can make their day even worse.

It made my day even better. Gave me a smile. Personally, I think humour is a great tool to get through tragedy. People are free to have a cry about it though if they want, especially if it makes them feel better.

Jokes like that don't age well even if you happen to be a fan of making fun of hurricane, pandemic, or plane crash victims.

I don't look at this as making fun of the victims (and obviously I wouldn't like that). But making fun of the situation can lighten the mood a bit. And it actually contains a serious warning: social distancing is really needed.

Nothing should be off the table to be joked about. Just because you make a joke about cancer or death or rape or paedophilia it doesn't mean you find those things funny, but jokes about them can be.

Snap out of your psychosis.

I'm being realistic pal. Everyone rofled when it born in Wuhan. Everyone rofled when they locked the city down. Everyone rofled when there were news it is spreading over other cities, then countries. Now the whole world can't get out of their home and you are still rofling

What do you suggest we do? Stay at home in bed and cry whilst we plan our suicide notes? In times like these a sense of humour is the only thing keeping the light at the end of the tunnel from turning into a freight train coming straight at you. Personally I'll be at home having a laugh with people whilst the world crumbles instead of pointlessly crying about it and dwelling on what state the world is going to be when this thing is all over... if it even ever becomes 'over'.

If you are panicking about this then you are indeed psychotic.

Nobody's suggesting that panic is a reasonable response. We're just suggesting that millions of people are likely to die, which makes the topic Not Funny. That's all.

Millions die every year. Life is a cruel joke but a joke nevertheless, but are you saying we shouldn't joke about death? Tell that to this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEXIEneoA20
