Covid-19 has probably changed the lives of most people in the United States at this point. With cases going up every day, the CDC - and most government officials - have been urging citizens to opt out of large family Thanksgivings and stick to celebrating with the people we already live with. While it's pretty clear that having a big family get-together, some people have been very vocal about how they're not about to let fear win. And according to airline records, millions of Americans have decided to travel against the CDC's advice. There are, however, many meme makers and Twitter users who are actually celebrating the opportunity to skip the often obligatory holiday for once. The ability to mute ones more annoying relatives on Zoom makes it all sound worthwhile. To celebrate this century's bleakest Thanksgiving, we've put together this gallery of memes and tweets that truly, well, say it all. And while we're enjoying laughing about the madness, we truly do wish you a happy Thanksgiving. Stay healthy, y'all.

Summer's about to be over and the United States is still struggling to control the coronavirus pandemic. While some states seem to be improving (some after a dismal first wave), California, Texas, and Florida are seeing dismal increases in both cases and deaths. As all the mask-haters and conspiracy theorists butt heads with scientists and government officials, many of us are left to sit at home, job hunt, and dream of a day we can go to a bar with friends without risking our lives or the lives of someone else. We're also left to cope with corona-related memes like these. If we can't laugh at our situation, then we know we're really screwed.
While the entire world freaks out about the Wuhan coronavirus, memers are using humor to mitigate the panicky feelings. And with the first confirmed case in New York City, those fears certainly aren't going to go away any time soon.
Twitter user @actioncookbook started this hilarious Twitter thread using classic hit songs and advisory warnings from the Center for Disease Control. We found it effing hilarious and we think you will too.
The internet was rich with 2020 plague memes around the new year, and with the news of the deadly Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak, memers are back to the meme drawing board. So, Photoshop. The virus has already sickened hundreds and claimed six lives in China - but the news of the first case in the United States is causing some anxiety. While it's being said that the risk to the public is low, comedy flourishes in times of tension, and the memes are proving to be unstoppable. And that's all good - it's better to laugh at fear than succumb to it.
