In all the chaos we've forgotten tomorrow is Friday the 13th, which I assume is when the coronavirus gets its ceremonial hockey mask and machete.

Many people have noted just how long, exhausting, and terrifying the first half of March and the first few months of 2020 have been.

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. The world is going into lock-down. People are in survival mode (panic), and by April fool's many will be wishing this was a joke. The cherry on-top of all of this would be a natural disaster (i.e. hurricane, tornado, forest fire). Stay pray'd up 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/1IJiEeun17

If the Coronavirus has you working from home or quarantined, Friday could be the perfect day to snuggle up on the couch and watch scary movies (or comedies if the world is feeling scary enough as is).
In addition to providing some comic relief, Friday the 13th 2020 memes can bring us some comfort in knowing that we’re not alone in our anxieties and fears about the state of the world. Stay safe, wash your hands, and try not to touch your face.
