Please DO NOT Dress up as Corona Virus for Purim
« on: March 06, 2020, 12:39:00 PM »
I really hope and pray that no one thinks it would be funny to dress up as anything Corona-virus related for Purim this year. Does anyone disagree?

People are currently dying/have died, many others are dangerously ill, and it is wreaking havoc on many cities, countries and global economies. Now is not the time to make light of it.

It's almost as bad as getting chinese food for the purim seuda
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Potential chilul hashem. Making light of a terrible tragedy.
A few years ago someone took pics of haman & 10 sons hanging across a BP street, it went viral, was reported on the news.

Nothing wrong with hanging haman, just don't make him black.

So you think it’s appropriate to dress up as Cancer too?

How do you dress up as  Cancer?
Bald cap and an IV tube into the arm. You can give out Chemotashin.

Want Nazi themed ideas as well?

This?

I don't remember very clearly, if I'm not mistaken someone from my shiur was the one who called up the news tip line. In hindsight I guess it wasn't the best move.
The guys who were suspected of hanging it up didn't get in trouble but got a good shmues for that. They had to take it down shortly afterwards.
