People flocked to Florida's Clearwater Beach on Monday despite national warnings to keep to smaller groups and avoid crowds. It seems like a shortsighted thing to be doing given everything we know, but there they all are.

The coronavirus epidemic is causing complete and utter pandemonium across the globe. Supermarkets are sold out of everything and bottles of hand sanitizer seem to be few and far between.

There are pictures of vacant subway stations in the middle of the afternoon, and apparently even KFC and Starbucks are closed. Chinese residents are working on maintaining their sanity during lockdown by getting real creative with the indoor activities. Good to see some triumph of the spirit during such a troubling and frightening time.

This time around, the scammer gets the tables turned on him and actually loses something out of the deal. Oh, the call is recorded too. The real action happens near the end of the recording.
Two of the most interesting developments in recent years are the rise of Anti-Vaxxers, and the amazing popularity of memes. It only makes sense the two would collide. Memes just spread so fast, it's crazy. And we all know how good Anti-Vaxxers are at helping spread anything that's going viral.
