Couldn’t hurt!

Copper foil is better. Copper has an antimicrobial effect.

Hope it turns out to be not much worse than the flu because it looks to me like containment in China was a complete failure.

My sister told me this joke.

She might have read it on Facebook.

Q. How do you fix coronavirus?

A. Add a lime to it!

If the fatalities start rising again as zombies, I’m outta here.

Oh yeah, blame your sister… :laughing:

A reliable source, with links out to other resources.

That is not funny.
Innocent People dying is not funny.

It's just a stupid joke.

It's not meant to be taken seriously.

My whole family thought it was funny.

Look up the word "levity."

It's an important concept that helps people get through difficult times.

The word you are looking for is Gallows Humor
Still bad timing.

Levity and gallows humor are pretty similar.

Look, the news about Wuhan coronavirus is pretty grim.

I was just trying to lighten the mood a little.

I admit that my sense of humor is very sick, but according to my hero Dr. Drew Pinsky, levity is very important in life, especially when things look grim.

Are you having another bad day?

Actually I was until I opened up some packages that I received yesterday.

I got some very nice Bluetooth headphones that put a smile on my face.

Apparently there's nothing like receiving a new toy to improve my day, though they say laughter is the best medicine.

...

If you guys don't see the value of levity, there's no hope for you and no one can help you.

Jokes about bad situations actually help your mental health.

If you don't like the joke, that's fine.

But that joke is pretty tame compared to the ones that I usually come up with and do not share on BLF.

One case confirmed in Germany ,they didn’t go to China,
They had contact with someone who had contact with someone From the town in China that it originated from .

Whoa. If Kevin Bacon ever gets coronavirus, we’re all dead…

You’re safe , He’s too busy doing EE adverts in the uk.

Here's a link to EE (on wikipedia) for those that do not recognize that acronym:

There is info about people called “super spreaders”. People who can spread the virus to 36 people instead of the normal 4… Any info about that?
