Coronavirus Explained: Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Lift Your Mask To Ask

As depressing as the constant thread of headlines about the Wuhan coronavirus is, we leave it to the ‘satirists’ at Babylon Bee to, perhaps, put a smile on some faces (if you can see the smile under the masks we are all wearing)…

Well, this can’t be good: the coronavirus is spreading faster than support for socialism, and it’s only slightly less deadly.

It’s important to take precautions to avoid both the coronavirus and socialism, so we’ve thrown together this little explainer to help you navigate this frightening potential pandemic. We asked for advice from a lady who sells essential oils at our church and a woman on Facebook who posts about “gut health” a lot, so you can be sure this is incredibly accurate.

What is the coronavirus?

An alt-right conspiracy theory invented by Russian hackers to distract us all from the historic impeachment proceedings.

How can I tell if I have the coronavirus?

Go to WebMD and search your symptoms. You probably have either the coronavirus or cancer.

How many calories does the coronavirus have?

Coronavirus Extra has 149 calories, while Coronavirus Light has only 99 calories with the same delicious symptoms.

Can anything kill the coronavirus?

Only a Dragon Uppercut (Shoryuken) if perfectly executed, but only experts should perform this move.

They’re creating what they’re calling the dextervirus — a deadly virus that only kills other viruses. They assure us this can’t backfire in any way.
