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

Damn, this is first year when immediately relized that's a joke and not real thing. Thanks to this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/theymos-and-april-fools-2020-preempt-5229603 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 .
i see that we have few active threads about this virus today...

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
He takes the lead here...
I reckon the time spent for a true vaccine would be even shorter than anyone trying to decipher whatever he said
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!

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.

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

Once you post on here as once said by people but i wonder how youre about to get an antidote.
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...
Starting to get jealous 
How you feel now? Now you are infected like most people on this thread.
I noticed that not all members on the forum effected by the virus on profile. Anyone can explain how to be infected?

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

This 'joke' with online infection is gone too far, isn't it? When everyone is in panic despite they tryna not to show it, this one can make their day even worse.
It made my day even better. Gave me a smile. Personally, I think humour is a great tool to get through tragedy. People are free to have a cry about it though if they want, especially if it makes them feel better.
Jokes like that don't age well even if you happen to be a fan of making fun of hurricane, pandemic, or plane crash victims.
I don't look at this as making fun of the victims (and obviously I wouldn't like that). But making fun of the situation can lighten the mood a bit. And it actually contains a serious warning: social distancing is really needed.Nothing should be off the table to be joked about. Just because you make a joke about cancer or death or rape or paedophilia it doesn't mean you find those things funny, but jokes about them can be.

Snap out of your psychosis.
What do you suggest we do? Stay at home in bed and cry whilst we plan our suicide notes? In times like these a sense of humour is the only thing keeping the light at the end of the tunnel from turning into a freight train coming straight at you. Personally I'll be at home having a laugh with people whilst the world crumbles instead of pointlessly crying about it and dwelling on what state the world is going to be when this thing is all over... if it even ever becomes 'over'.
If you are panicking about this then you are indeed psychotic.
Nobody's suggesting that panic is a reasonable response. We're just suggesting that millions of people are likely to die, which makes the topic Not Funny. That's all.Millions die every year. Life is a cruel joke but a joke nevertheless, but are you saying we shouldn't joke about death? Tell that to this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEXIEneoA20
As more and more forum members are being infected, bitcointalk.org should be added to a "country infected list".
Has anyone made statistics already ? How many cases do we have right now? Is there at least 1 recovered?

I think there are not that much-infected members yet. Once we have enough members infected, we will get the attention by mods - They will then work on finding a cure (that will take months) We have to keep ourselves safe, Use some distance and try not to quote. Let's see how much time this virus takes to cure until then we can just sit and watch members get infected.
