I fully support every conspiratard's right to make stupid jokes and to laugh at them... you can't make me laugh at it too though, and/or make me say that it's funny. It just isn't.
I didn't find this joke funny either as I have friends whose family members contacted/died from this disease.
Apparently most people on this thread find humor in replicating a disease infection online, with decorated text. While that text was also annoying I don't think that's what pissed off some people, it was that they were joking about virus. And when you're a part of the situation then it really punches you hard in the stomach.
These people are getting a little twitchy so-to-speak. It's understandable how they could lash out at a harmless and instructive April fools day prank and get ultra-paranoid and weird about it.
This was not an
instructive april fools prank. If you read theymos' thread about this it was just a few probabilities that's all. Please step in the victims' shoes first before accusing them of being "ultra-paranoid and weird about it".
