Covid-19 Intertwined Into Pop Culture

As a pandemic is continuing to rise throughout the vast communities around the world, one thing is for sure. People from different backgrounds and cultures seem to enjoy implementing a new Covid culture into today's social media. In response to the pandemic, many companies are creating small fragments of Covid-19 information to infuse into media, mainly to increase awareness of the severity of the virus or to add a beam of hope for finding humor in everything. Growing up in the social media and internet age, I am well aware of coronavirus memes. These memes, originating from the United States, have reminded me that there is still a ray of light in a growing dark world.

Not only is the United States making "propaganda" about Covid-19, but India is as well. Mumbai police have recently created a meme that promotes virus awareness. It depicts a Bollywood actor, named Nawazuddin Siddiqui, being asked, "Why do I have to wear a mask around my friends and colleagues? That's so stupid!". His response, "For the sake of science, Sir." This showcases that wearing proper masks at populous gatherings is crucial because of "science."
