Netizens Parody "Nature Is Healing" Posts With The Funniest Pics

Since coronavirus lockdowns began to be imposed across the world to limit human interaction and contain the spread of the highly infectious disease, many reports of lower pollution levels and increased wildlife sightings in urban areas have emerged. While many of these reports are true, others - like news about dolphins returning to the canals of Venice - have been debunked as fake. In fact, CNN reports that contrary to popular belief, the water quality in Venice has not improved - the canals just look cleaner because with no boats, sediments stay at the bottom. 

Now, netizens are countering fake news amid the coronavirus pandemic by parodying the viral posts. These posts, often shared with the taglines "Nature is healing" or "We are the virus", make use of creatively edited pics and stills from movies to give social media users something to laugh about in these difficult times. 

Take a look at how Twitter is satirizing fake news with this new meme:
