Since I often combat serious situations and bad news with humor, one of the first instincts I have had while dealing with the constant stream of coronavirus (COVID-19) updates was to imagine what the "Coronavirus Episode" would look like on my favorite TV show of all-time, "The Office":
One day after my post blew up in that "Office" Facebook fanpage called " The Office Superfans," I saw another take going viral on Twitter:
The Office: Coronavirus
Michael ignores the “work from home" memo because he thinks that everyone should be together at a time like this
Dwight acts completely normal & claims genetic immunity
Angela wears a hazmat suit
Kevin says that he's had it for weeks & feels fine

People on Reddit have expanded on this one as well.
Since then, I've seen some other renditions and related memes that have made me laugh as well.

While the coronavirus is a serious situation that needs to be taken seriously, after you educate yourself on everything you need to know, don't hesitate to enjoy the people using their sense of humor to get us through our days of self-quarantining and worrying about loved ones and upcoming plans that might be canceled.
It's going to be a long and hard time for all of us.
