Egyptians in crisis

I saw a meme yesterday that i just couldn’t resist sharing, its a meme that talks about the weather and corona virus.

What i like about this meme is not just because it’s a famous song or how clever it is. In times of crisis i always admire the simplicity of the Egyptian people. There is a pandemic and a wave of terrible weather and yet somehow we find a way to lighten up the mood and have a little laugh. what concerns me though is that sometimes this belittles the issue in a way. For example the bad weather we are facing when you open any social media you would find jokes and people sharing memes and funny videos in the midst of all this joking maybe you lose how big of a threat some things are. I believe in the importance of joking, I had just read about corona being officially a “pandemic” and this meme made me laugh and for a second feel better, however i think social media should also be used to raise awareness and to tell people how great of a danger something is not just to joke about the issue.
