**Moderator Note**

Thread title edited to more clearly indicate the topic. Please use descriptive thread titles.

Also, please provide a better description about what it is you want to discuss. “This is pretty good” doesn’t give much of an idea of what the topic actually is or what aspect of it you want to discuss. Also, it’s a good idea to describe what the links actually go to. Many people do not click on links without knowing what it links to.

In this particular case, it links to a coronavirus figurine (toy?), with the words “Made in China” at the bottom of the package.

You’re right. Thanks for editing it for me.

This showed up on my Facebook wall, and I thought it was funny.

My neighbor friend suggested, quite some time ago, that we could get rich making corona virus Christmas tree ornaments, or corona virus light bulbs.
