Personally I am glad it was removed. it was bad taste.
Virus Funnies seems an insensitive title to me.
These posts could have easily been put in the "we need more jokes" section.
when you personally know people who have lost someone or have lost someone close due to this, virus and funny just don't mix.

Well some of us found them funny.

None were about people dying,

instead of deleting it altogether couldn't it just have been moved to the adult section where 'it's ok'?

I didn't say they weren't funny.
My view was the title was in bad taste

So they were funny things about the virus.

That kinda summed up the title.

As one of them stated "there is no cure for stupid"

As of this moment in time Just under 3000 people and their families in the UK think there is nothing at all funny about the virus and I very much doubt all the good folk on the frontline wont either.

You are quite correct, there was a post in there stating "there is no cure for stupid" shame really.

I will not comment any further in this thread as other statements I have read include "never argue with an idiot as he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience"

I think the British have a reputation of laughing in the face of adversity - we have a dark humour as a nation.

None of the posts imo were about the virus impact on humans - more really as a pressure relief against the horror of the situation.

As the old saying goes "you have to laugh - or else you'll cry".
