As the pandemic, COVID-19, continued to spread across the globe, causing deaths, panic, and toilet paper hoarding, fans are slamming TV personality, Kelly Ripa, for making a joke about it on social media.
It is causing worldwide panic as people try to stock up on the essentials, preparing to socially distance themselves until further notice.
Everyone is being encouraged to simply stay inside — all in an effort to stop the spread of the virus.
Just last week, Prince William insinuated that the media has been blowing everything out of proportion to scare people, and joked that he and his wife, Kate Middleton, are spreading the virus.
"By the way, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are spreading coronavirus, sorry," he added.
"Does it seem quite dramatic about coronavirus at the moment?," he said. Is it being a little bit hyped up, do you think, in the media?"
And rather than learning from William's mistakes, TV personality, Kelly Ripa, decided to take a stab at coronavirus comedy for herself — only to get the same response from fans. Shocker.
"Hi everyone. We're going to talk about a serious medical problem," Kelly's dermatologist starts off saying.
I'm sure you can probably tell where this is going...
"A lot of side effects. Lines, wrinkles," the doctor explains.
Kelly then begins to scrunch up her face, revealing some of her lines.
"But Dr. Anolik decided to be brave today and come into work to treat my acute Botox deficiency syndrome."
"Is there any Botox left for anyone else, doctor?," she jokes.
Yikes. Kelly, girl, WYD?
As expected, Kelly is facing a ton of backlash over this.
So much, in fact, that she took the video down altogether.
All things considered, if there is ever going to be a time when coronavirus jokes are a good idea, it certainly isn't in the thick of it, when people are literally dying because of it.
