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

[hd49728]

Hmm.... maybe this virus is spreading from clicking on this dirt text frame?
Someone should decontaminate this.

You must self-quarrantine next 24 hours. If your account can self-recover, it will be fine. Tomorrow, if you still see your contaminated-username, it means you need to have intensive technical care. In the meantime, please practice social distancing.

The virus has spread so fast, I wake up at 12:01 am on April 1, I already notice that virus appearing in my screen, now it's getting worse, if we can't contain this today, maybe this virus will spread all over our PC. Please keep safe everyone, wear your mask and stay at home.

I noticed that not all members on the forum effected by the virus on profile. Anyone can explain how to be infected?

Once you post on here as once said by people but i wonder how youre about to get an antidote.

[xavierXDRC]

Starting to get jealous

How you feel now? Now you are infected like most people on this thread.

That's not it. I didn't post here and got infected.

My only post after the virus was originated was this one, which got quoted by mk4 (who was infected). So maybe that's how it spreads: someone needs to pass it to you by quoting you or maybe doing some other interactions with you (visiting profile, etc...?).

You must self-quarrantine next 24 hours. If your account can self-recover, it will be fine. Tomorrow, if you still see your contaminated-username, it means you need to have intensive technical care. In the meantime, please practice social distancing.

Testing infection... don't mind me.

I hope you don't mind getting infected...

This one is so far the most infected post I've found

He takes the lead here...

[ryzaadit]

Then about the effect of the virus on each person who has been infected.

What's the criteria virus gives a greater effect for each user who has been infected. I see different users have different effects, example @Foxpup got infected early than @cabalism13 but went we see both of them @cabalism13 post more getting effect almost can't readable than @Foxpup.

I mean we talking the immune, did the amount merits and activity also one of the factors how fast the virus spread into the post xD.

I'd just like to add to the discussion that I feel this is a good and well executed joke and even though these are hard times, it made my day a bit lighter!

Keep your health and spirits up everybody!

I reckon the time spent for a true vaccine would be even shorter than anyone trying to decipher whatever he said

[Kalemder]

Who was this virus first infected? Who ate bat recently? Quarantine measures should be initiated.
Joking aside. A very good joke for social awareness. Good idea @Theymos

[xavierXDRC]

i see that we have few active threads about this virus today...

Seems that this is the source cointinued in this thread...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5229603.0

In my opinion is no sence to create that many post about this same topic 

[philipma1957]

Damn, this is first year when immediately relized that's a joke and not real thing. Thanks to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5229603.0 which spoiled the fun and reminded about April 1st...
I don't think that this joke is bad taste. Offcourse, this virus is serious and concerning thing. But I think that some positive is always good. I don't think that we should panic and some people overreact about it.
BTW, this thread is dangerous for me, because I don't have face mask or respirator .

Once your relatives get sick and on ventilators maybe you will think it is a sick joke .

[Kalemder]

The virus hasn't infected me for 20 minutes. Social Social distancing can be 3 spaces. 

[Coin-1]

to be honest I feel like this April fools is not meant to be a joke but a reminder from theymos that the virus can spread quickly without practising social distancing and he only launch it today since a lot of people are expecting something to happen on April 1st in this forum.

I agree with you. This is a joke that does not apply to the COVID-19 coronavirus, and is just a reminder. As far as I understand, the digital virus is spreading on the forum through quoting posts of "infected" members.

I intentionally decided not to practice social distancing and quoted your message, so maybe my account will be "infected" too. In any case, I wish good health to each member of the forum in real life.

Hahaha ! I thought for a second it was one of the symptoms ) first error text, then upside-down and reverse text ...

Glad I'm safe so far.

//edit: but habal has already been hit hard by this mask. so the illness is immediately aggravated.
