Posts relating to the ongoing (since November 2019) pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the infectious disease the virus causes, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Posts with this tag usually involve at least one of the following:

• Depictions or parodies of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus itself.
• Bats bathing in a soup, as it was widely believed that the virus originated from people in Wuhan, China eating foods made from a diseased bat at an open air food market. (The actual origins are more complicated than that.)
• Panic buying and hoarding of essentials including food and toilet paper.
• Conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19.
• Characters actually being ill from COVID-19.
• Encouraging hand washing, wearing face masks, and practicing social/physical distancing (including staying inside at home).
