[April Fools] This better not be what I think it is...

I don't feel good.

I don't take it as some sort of educational warning, theymos has recently stated people are overreacting, so I find this educational warning nonsense a bit far fetched. It comes off to me as.. mocking. Mocking a situation that is killing many people and making a lot of people extremely ill is not funny, IMO.

Eh, I don't think it's going to make anyone take the pandemic any more or less seriously and I'm guessing theymos came up with some clever way that it spreads, which sounds fun.

They're doing something similiar on r/memes:
https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/fky5cz/rmemes_memonavirus_community_event/

If you comment under someone that's infected there's a 1% chance you'll get infected.  If you get infected there's a 3% chance you get banned.

News: The virus is now s̴͜͠p̶̰͝r̷̰̅e̶̦̽a̵̼͂d̴͉̑ỉ̷̖n̸̙̏g̷̬͝ even online; practice social distancing!

Practicing Social distancing is privilege, poor people can't afford this in high density/poor countries..

This year, theymos made another educational things for all of us, with the US. educational style, like that one

I guess its directed towards Stupidity and its universal problem  #COVIDIOTS

I'm curious how this spreads
-quoting?
-sending or receiving merit?
-participating in a topic where one is infected?

Maybe a random chance of the above?

As for the joke itself...cough cough....

[cabalism13]

I don't feel good.

Testing if l can infected by qouting..

No you can't... It's only possible when you did both... Merit someone whose already been infected... Come on now you users,... Lets me share to you, Break Your Life With Merits! ✌️😂

[ryzaadit]

-snip-

Quoting an infected person.

So the best thing not getting infected quoted using "Insert Quote", a manual quote without directly quoting to the message just be the same as using a glove to avoid getting infected directly to the hand went you doing the social activity with the infected person xD.

Edit: Try testing sending merits xD.

I'd rather stay prevented with my nose mask on and my hand sanitizer in close proximity. I'm also practicing social distancing by leaving a reasonable distance between your quote and my reply.

Not sending/receiving merits that's for sure. Some of the infected haven't received any merits today.

Experimenting...

You'll be infected in less than 30mintues 2hours starting this time...

Seems I'm immune, done all three but I'm still healthy 😁.

From what I notice, it also has a time delay before you get infected. Maybe atleast 15minutes after you feel the symptoms of forum coughing and sneezing then comes after that the viral forum flu. 🤣

Simply you cannot,... The Virus will get to you because like Covid you really can't protect yourself with just that 😂 it will spread as fast as it can!

This year, theymos made another educational things for all of us, with the US. educational style, like that one: [ANN][ICO]HoweyCoins: the only BitcoinTalk-endorsed ICO - GUARANTEED PROFIT. Do you remember that educational ICO?

Yeah. I will never forget the ICO cause i thought it was real because i was looking for a genuine ICO to invest then and i was an ICO posted by Theymos will be bomb  
Do you also remember last year educational KYC?

@ryzaadit

Want to see how long I can stay not infected

I don't think it's just sending merits as suchmoon would have already been infected from foxpup, ...f* it sounds so... , that's why I think even if you do some of the actions it's only a probability of getting it, not certain.

As expected, the WO thread is already a mess:

Posting this to see if I am corona positive :-P

Edit:
Good news !
I have Corona negative :-P

Just give it some time for the virus to spread. You are just infected, once it spreads, you'll show symptoms 

[ryzaadit]

Would be good, if the infected person got some warning message to their account? The warning can be like "Banned Warning" but with some statement like this:

"Your account has been infected with the virus, because of that your account now will be quarantine/lockdown from any activity to the forum for the next 24 hours"

That's would bring a lot of attention xD.

Only post in your own threads and l̾͋̈̅͝ock immediately after.

I guess all of those behaviours above are chances of infection but if it is truly right, not all contacted people will be infected and not all of infected will have symptoms. The symptoms also need a minimum window time to show. All of these are my assumptions, not theymos'.

I am in a chain of virus transmission already, so let's see what will happen with my account next hours.

Lastly, maybe the virus will dissappear tomorrow, I hope that as nearly same as I hope the pandemic will not reappear next year.
But hey, urgently! Please stop the spread of the virus, if you don't do this (by practicing social distancing on the forum), the whole forum will be locked down by the US. government, next 24 hours.

That's probably ground zero. Is WO now the equivalent of a fish market?

This is likely the first area on the forum will be locked down. Based on what I know about the WO area, the virus will be spred out too fast.
