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.
But hey, it's his site, we're free to not use it for 24 hours (or ever) if we disagree.

Is theymos describing the current situation? It seems like a virus spread, and it makes sense to have a correlation with COVID-19 infection. If he decides to do that thing for April 1, I can understand the reason. He probably wants to show empathy towards the virus disaster happening now. Well, it is very reasonable on the basis of humanity and brotherhood. >Respect for theymos! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Click

A lot of people are suffering because of the pandemic, probably the majority of the world is living in fear of coronavirus, and it is being used as an excuse to take away people's rights, in some cases more than enough that is necessary to temporarily protect citizens from the pandemic, including in the free world, and there is a good chance a lot of people will not be getting these freedoms back after the pandemic is over.

Queue the threads on moderation favoritism... ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Maybe we are supposed to figure out how it spreads? Do you need to post in a thread of an infected person?

Not that funny.. but I guess theymos wanted to relate to current events.. *shrug*. If this is supposed to be an april fools joke, I don't get it. Seems more like april fools mocking.

Is it being spread by quoting people, linking to their posts, linking to their profile? Lol I'm scared, I want to avoid the contagion.
I think the OP of the thread about April Fools that was started on March 1 (I'm not touching it) was case zero. I posted in that thread, but I didn't quote anyone.

Dunno. Let me know when you have a clear clue related to the way of its spread. I want to be the last one who is not infected by this new kind of virus. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I posted in that thread, but I didn't quote anyone.
You are lucky not infected by the " BTT April virus". ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Once you are infected, you may need a self-quarantine. It will prevent the contagion or virus spread among BTT users. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

My guess is there is a delay between whatever causes it to “spread” and it actually showing. On one hand, this will put the important of social distancing on display, however I still believe it is in poor taste.

I wasn't at first; I must have caught it from khaled0111. That confirms it; theymos apparently thinks it's funny to joke about a disease outbreak that (by my guesstimate) will probably directly kill at least a million people and sicken tens or hundreds of millions, and indirectly kill or sicken millions more who have unrelated illnesses that will be left untreated due to medical facilities being overloaded. Many if not most of the survivors will personally know someone who was affected, some will know the pain of losing a loved one and not be allowed to hold a proper funeral due to quarantines, and all will face a grim future filled with new social, economic, and political problems. I'm not entirely sure what's so funny about that, but I guess that's why I'm not a comedian. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Maybe theymos had an educational message embedded in his practical joke, but it is a practical joke above anything else. I agree it's unfortunate that some find humor in tragedy, and obviously being right in the midst of it this comes off as insensitive.
I get it, though. Some will always turn to humor to cope with fear, uncertainty, concern, cabin-fever...

How are you going to be infected by this forum's virus? Just wondering how he set this up? ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I believe, as in the case of COVID 19, it will spread after some time if we quote the infected or the infected quotes our post. Not sure though, but it seems the only reasonable way. Anyways, looks like a nice awareness campaign.
