Yep.
Considering people manage to die while taking selfies, I’m wondering what kind of Darwin Awards will be handed out after the whole pandemic dies down.
Three musketeers.

Slight addendum.
I’ve always been weirded out by people who wear a “Free Hugs” shirt because I absolutely, positively do not want to be hugged by a stranger. At least this guy is enforcing social distancing.
Brackets: busted.

This newspaper had a little fun with the fact that, for basically the first time ever, pro sports are canceled with no word on when they might resume.

“When the boss calls a surprise video conference mid-quarantine”.
Like they’ve done many times before, these coworkers scrambled to gather for a last-minute meeting. But with everyone working from home, things take on a different feel.
We got knocked down, but we’ll get up again.
Pro tip: if you drink too much during the quarantine, you’ll wake up with a hangover. If you wake up with a hangover, you’ll probably think you have the coronavirus. Not that I’d know or anything.
Erin go Bragh.
St. Patrick’s Day happened this week, though it would be understandable if you didn’t notice. There might not have been sanctioned public gatherings, but it’s still possible to mark the day while observing social distancing advice.
Fair enough.
This poor kid. When you’re young, birthdays are everything. It would be a real kick in the pants to not see your friends on your big day. Yes, coronavirus, you are in fact the f-word.
Hmmm.
Store closure signs are an increasingly common sight, but this one throws a fun little twist into the proceedings by totally misunderstanding what the word ‘indefinitely’ means.
Not only are these dads practicing social distancing, but it’s also handy that they turn out to be less than 10 people.

They’d just have to say “yup,” a little louder.
Some take to working from home better than others, but this person’s definitely looking on the bright side of life.

While being able to spend more time with pets sounds good in the abstract, it always means that it can get pretty distracting whenever they get on each other’s nerves.
Given what’s been on a lot of people’s minds while all of this is going on, this seemed like a good candidate for a COVID-19 support ribbon.
The only problem is that people probably won’t find themselves wearing it for long before they actually need to use it.
This man apparently felt he had to explain to his cat why it’s been getting so much attention lately.
Even without that broken line in the middle, it’s pretty easy for us to see what could’ve sparked such a sudden petting increase between March 13 and March 16.
Then again, I suppose we aren’t cats.
This person seems to be implying that they didn’t really need this book until he started working from home.
After all, the schools are also closed while all of this is going on and a lot of parents are suddenly wondering what they’re going to do about the mini-stampedes every day.
While it’s sad to think about why this feels necessary, it’s also hard not to crack an impressed smile at what a clever solution this is.
This delivery driver is obviously well aware of the risks of business as usual, so he’s ensuring that contact with customers says as minimal as possible with this RC truck.
Apparently, this is what the uploader got up to on their fourth day of self-isolation.
From the looks of it, they’re going to need to discover some new hobbies because this cat’s playing a lot like I did when my dad first tried to teach me Chess as a little kid.
This gift for the uploader’s 21st birthday would’ve come off as insulting under normal circumstances, but not now.
Some of us were amazed when our parents found a way to get us the hottest-selling items as kids and that apparently hasn’t changed as much as we might think.

In case it’s not clear, she ran out of wine and is making this substitution instead.
I’d say I’m curious to find out how good this actually tastes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m eventually going to find out.
But for those who do have wine, it seems that somebody has developed a suddenly relevant glass.
I’m not sure how exactly this is supposed to help, but I guess it might ease people into the feeling of face masks?
These seemed like they took some doing to make, but these puffs should look pretty familiar right about now.
For those of you wondering what the little virus that’s causing all of this trouble actually looks like, you’ve at least got the shape of it now.
Not even a little touchy touchy.
In some ways, this is the moment that shut-ins and introverts have been waiting for their entire lives. Stay away from strangers and don’t touch them? I already live my life that way.
Long arm of the law.
If you thought that this police officer was there to guard TP from hoarders, you’re sadly right. This is 2020, everyone. Let’s hope the rest of the new decade is better.
Not funny.
With April Fools’ Day around the corner, I wonder what kind of coronavirus-related pranks people will attempt. If we canceled St. Patrick’s Day, we should definitely cancel April Fools’.
Interesting point.
